Save the Children have asked us to find some keen runners - would you be interested ?

We have just 15 places to fill for the Great North Run.
Please can you reach out to your family and friends to help us push these places so we can maximise our income from this event this year .
This amazing event takes place on 13th of September this year and we would love to have a mass of Save the Children T shirts crossing the finish line in Southshields.
DM us if you know someone interested in taking part to raise essential lifesaving funds !

Last chance to visit the exhibition TODAY and snap up a picture you have your eyes on !!!

A quick visit down to the Save the Children UK Ayr and District Branch exhibition at the Maclaurin Art Gallery this morning.
The exhibition opened the day I left for Japan & the last day is 2nd November so was top of my to do list. This is the first year I’ve been invited to take part so very happy to see a red dot on my painting, many thanks to the buyer 💕
Well worth a visit if you haven’t managed to get down yet 3 galleries full of beautiful artwork 💕
