Candied owner Amrit Dhillon opened the shops in Grangemouth, Denny and Rumford at noon on Monday, stating he would be donating profits made to the hospice.

He said: “I felt we would raise over £4000 but we managed to get to £5500. It was an amazing night and I’m so proud of the team, they worked so hard, I couldn’t have asked for any more from them.

“Great support from the local communities they really got behind the initiative. We truly saw the best of humankind yesterday – during such uncertain and challenging times the community spirit was heart warming.”
