THE Largs Community Resilience Team is holding a bucket collection at Morrison’s each day this week to raise funds to continue their vital work.

Since March, the volunteer team have responded to over 2,700 separate requests supporting individuals in need.

These requests vary from practical help delivering prescriptions and shopping to connecting people with tradesmen.

The team has also provided emotional support by signposting people to the Living Room project or social services.

A spokeperson said: “This has been a big change from our normal support to the community, dealing with emergencies such as floods and missing persons.

“Everyone is a volunteer. We do not receive any official funding and rely totally on donations to ensure that we have the equipment required to provide support in a safe and professional manner."

You can support the work of the voluntary group all this week by giving a donation however small in the buckets in Morrisons.
