Thanks to Jamie and the Royal Mail Troon delivery office for all they are doing for us this Christmas.

It was inspiring to meet Jodie and all the volunteers working at her Night Before Christmas Campaign in Annbank this weekend.

KISS and KIIT are transforming the lives of tens of thousands of children.
