Campbeltown Pharmacy launches festive fundraiser for food bank

Raffle tickets are priced at £1 per strip and are available to purchase in-store from Campbeltown Pharmacy at Mafeking Place.

The draw will take place on Monday, December 11, giving people plenty of time to participate and contribute to the cause.

Thanks to the generosity of local businesses and individuals, there is an array of prizes up for grabs, including: Machrihanish Golf Club – voucher for a ‘four ball’; D McNair & Son – £50 fuel voucher; Campbeltown Picture House – tickets for two; Kintyre Food Bank – Christmas food hamper; Campbeltown Pharmacy – perfume; plus whisky, wine, chocolates, biscuits, and festive decorations.

The Christmas raffle is the latest in a series of fundraising events organised by the independent community pharmacy which opened in April.

Earlier this year, a similar raffle raised £520 for the charity Shopper-Aide, which supports Kintyre’s older population, with the pharmacy matching the £260 raised by the community.

The pharmacy team is encouraging as many people as possible to get behind the cause, with Mr Khan adding: “Together, we can make a significant impact and help provide for those in need during this festive season. 

“Your support is more crucial than ever to help those most vulnerable in our community.”
