Spiers Care Home received some lovely identical pairs of hearts from Lisa at Hearts for Crosshouse. These were made by nurses and volunteers across Ayrshire who had the idea that one heart is given to a resident and the other to their family.

Hopefully the hearts will give some comfort to residents who are unable to see their families at the moment.[vc_single_image image=”10999″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center”]Forestview Primary pupils send supportive pics to Spiers
