A JOHNSTONE care home has been given a bumper cash boost, thanks to a generous housebuilder.

Staff at Ranfurly Care Home, in Quarrelton Road, received a £500 donation from Barratt Homes as part of a £2,500 pledge to causes in the West of Scotland.

NSPCC Scotland and Shining Stars ASN Theatre School both received £1,000.

Suzanne Craven, finance director at Barratt Homes West Scotland, said: “The work that all of these organisations do is vital and local communities depend on them. We’re very pleased to help support them with these donations and look forward to helping them where we can in the future.”
