Volunteers from a charity shop in Kirkcaldy have been celebrated for their work raising £273,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support - as the Dean Park Hotel hosted them for an afternoon tea.

The Kirkcaldy committee for Macmillan Cancer Support has raised the incredible sum, having taken over the running the Thrift Shop on St. Clair Street 14 years ago.

Madeleine Gillan, relationship fundraising manager for Macmillan, says that the event allowed the UK organisation to thank the volunteers.

She said: “Raising £273,000 for Macmillan is an astonishing achievement and I know every volunteer has worked so hard to get to this point.
