Quarriers has thanked the staff and customers of Arnold Clark Car and Van Rental for their fundraising efforts.
The Arnold Clark team, on Murray Street in Paisley, has raised £106.87 for the health and social care charity through a donated bookshelf scheme which lets customers take a book away in exchange for a donation.
Arnold Clark has since agreed to be a drop-off point for anyone wishing to donate books for the Quarriers Christmas Fayre, to be held on November 23, or items for the fayre's tombola.
Diane Craig, Arnold Clark's community champion, said: "Arnold Clark supports many charities across its branches, and we are delighted to have raised funds for Quarriers.
"Since launching the book donation area, we've had customers bringing in boxes of books to contribute.
"Our staff have been fantastic, and the customers very generous.
"With Christmas approaching, we’re also collecting items for Quarriers' Christmas Fayre tombola, and in December, we’ll gather selection boxes for distribution amongst our children’s services."
Louise Strachan, Quarriers’ events and community fundraiser, added: "We are so thankful for the dedication and generosity of Arnold Clark’s team and customers.
"Their support makes a real difference to the lives of those we care for, and it’s wonderful to see the community coming together in this way."
Quarriers provides practical care and support for children, adults, and families facing challenges like poverty and social isolation.
Organisations wishing to fundraise or donate items for the fayre are asked to get in touch with Louise Strachan at louise.strachan@quarriers.org.uk
