Corporate Ambassador for Ayrshire Cancer Support (Image: Submitted) Sharon has raised thousands of pounds for charity over the years, but admits it's becoming increasingly difficult to draw in raffle prizes for these types of events.

She said: "Local band By_Proxy will be playing at a Halloween special with all proceeds going to the Alexandria Unit (Palliative Care) in Dumfries and Galloway Infirmary. 

"As times are hard, I am struggling for raffle prizes.

"My employer Browns Food Group have kindly agreed to sponsor both events again and will be supplying their Kilted Sausages and New Mexican Hotdogs at the intervals."
