A WORTHY local cause has received a ship-shape donation from workers at Ferguson Marine.
Every year staff at the Port Glasgow yard make a kind donation to Ardgowan Hospice by giving up money from their own wages.
Lawrence Gemmell, of Ferguson Marine, told the Tele: “We’ve been doing this for about 25 years, most of the guys that donate probably have someone they know that’s been involved in the hospice.
“It’s something nice to do for a good cause that does so much good work.”
Yard workers James Sweeney, Hugh Hampsey and Alec Millar handed over the cheque for £2,500 to hospice fundraiser Joanna Hunter earlier this week.
