A charity Burns night was held in Cumnock recently to raise funds for Ayrshire Cancer Support.

Organised by charity ambassador Sharon King, the night consisted of some traditional Burns and Scottish treats, as well as some singing performances and a raffle.

Browns Food Group, who Sharon works for, donated the haggis for the meal on the night.

The night managed to surpass Sharon's initial target of raising £1,000 for the charity.

Sharon said it was a great night and that it was extremely generous of her work to donate the haggis in support.
