Each year the Incorporated Trades donate food hampers to people within the town. Each Trade is responsible for distributing three hampers to those it thinks is deserving of them.

This Christmas, the Skinners decided to donate their hampers to North Ayrshire Women's Aid, which is a local charitable organisation which supports women, children and young people who are experiencing domestic abuse.

We recently received a letter from the Administrator of the charity who writes, "Please accept our thanks for your recent donation of hampers for the Women, Children & Young People of North Ayrshire Women's Aid. This helped towards making their Christmas more enjoyable at this difficult time of the year. Your support is invaluable to us and we appreciate your consideration towards us."
