UNBELIEVABLY the countdown is on to the end of the Troon Secret Santa community event.

By now hundreds of children from across the community have received gifts thanks to the tireless efforts of a dedicated team of volunteers who are giving up their evenings to take them round the community.

But there is still time as deliveries now continue right through until Christmas Eve.

This event is now in its fourth year and is going from strength to strength - with more than 1000 Troon families involved in the Facebook group.

The new-born babies of Troon all receive a teddy bear and nominated children all receive gifts such as selection boxes.

New this year is the addition of fruit, which has been kindly donated by the Railway Club.

If you wish to nominate your child or grandchild just join up with The Troon Secret Santa Facebook group.

Donation points as follows: The Little Knitting Shop, 55 Dundonald Road; Keystore, Deveron Road; Keystore, Central Avenue; Co-op, Muirhead; Barassie Stores; Day Today, Lang Road, Barassie; The Railway Club, Troon and The Poppy Room, Church Street.
