A yellow-themed campaign throughout the month of March for Ayrshire Cancer Support has been widely supported.

The campaign encouraged supporters of the charity to ‘Wear It Yellow’ anytime during the month of March by hosting fundraising events to raise vital funds for children, young people and adults across Ayrshire.
