AYRSHIRE Cancer Support held their annual ladies night and fashion show at the Princess Royal Exhibition Centre at Ayr Racecourse recently.

Over 300 ladies packed the venue to watch a catwalk show by Debenhams, Pillar Box and Ayr College.

The event was a great success and raised over £5500 for the Kilmarnock-based charity.

John Beck, Chief Executive at Ayrshire Cancer Support said, “It was great to see so many ladies turn out to support us on the night.

“All profits from the evening will go directly towards helping cancer patients and their families who rely on us for transport, counselling and therapies.

“We do not receive any funding to provide our services and nights like this mean so much to us.

“We are extremely grateful to Scottish Event Management for organising this event on our behalf and also to all the organisations taking part. We are especially thankful to our sponsor, the S&UN Newspaper Group for their help and support.”
