Representatives from Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland were welcomed to South Ayrshire Council’s County Buildings on Friday 16th February to receive a donation from one of the local authority’s charitable schemes. Lord Provost Iain Campbell said: “I think it is a cause close to many people’s hearts and touches many families, either directly or indirectly so I am delighted to help in any small way through this charity donation from South Ayrshire Council.” Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland offers a cardiac peer support group at Queen Margaret School, Dalmellington Road in Ayr and a chest, heart and stroke group in South Parish Church, Montgomerie St, Carrick.
