GENEROUS staff and shoppers at a Gourock store have raised money to support people with life limiting illnesses.

The fabulous fundraisers from the Sainsbury’s Local store in Kempock Street handed over a £2,200 cheque to Ardgowan Hospice.

The money was raised as part of the supermarket chain’s ‘Local Charity of the Year’ scheme with funds raised from the 5p carrier bag charge and from fun days within the store.

Staff are now encouraging shoppers to choose which charity they would like the store to support when the scheme re-starts on June 13.
