Their efforts over the Christmas break helped raise a magnificent £1,768.75 for Kidney Kids Scotland - cash which the charity will be able to put to very good use.

Stenhousemuir-based Kidney Kids Scotland manager Sheena Dunsmore wants to thank the four volunteers who managed to persuade shoppers to donate some cash for a very worthwhile cause - and Klondyke for its continued support.
