A kind neighbour has come to the rescue of sheltered housing residents looking for their daily dose of the Tele

Support worker Stuart Beaton volunteered to deliver the papers to the Crosshill Sheltered Housing residents every morning on his way to work.

With many of the older people living in the Bield Housing run complex forced to shield and isolate, they were unable to catch up with all the news.

Volunteer Stuart is one of dozens of local people who signed up for Port Glasgow's Covid-19 support group to help out.

Throughout the crisis they have looked after their neighbours and tied in with other response teams to ensure no one suffers alone.

Stuart, 45, of Auchenbothie Road, said: "I was delighted to help.

"I am up in the morning and on my way to work.

"I have enjoyed being part of the group of volunteers and doing whatever I can.

"I have helped in a small way whenever I can.

"So many people have been doing so much to help."

The Port Glasgow group have operated a system of zones with volunteers in every street, checking in with neighbours, and tied in with other response teams like the Salvation Army.

Stuart also featured in the Tele recently after using his talents as an artist to raise money for a cause close to his heart.

He raffled a special piece of coronavirus artwork in honour of the staff who rallied to keep his son Ewan alive after he suffered a bleed on the brain.

The 12-year-old needed emergency surgery following the life-threatening brain bleed, which happened after he crashed into a car whilst riding a friend's bike on Auchenbothie Road.

The money raised is going to boost the Children's Hospital Charity.
