Generous staff and customers at a popular garden centre are helping people living with cancer.

Maggie’s Forth Valley has benefited from the fundraising efforts of everyone at Torwood Garden Centre who have collected enough to ‘pay for a day’ of care.

The Larbert centre needs £2400 every day to provide the free practical and emotional support that makes a real difference to people across the district living with cancer.

Jamie Stevenson from the garden centre, said: “It feels like such a tangible outcome to know that our staff, volunteers and customers have provided all the incredible support at this fantastic local charity for a whole day.
