A GREENOCK man who raises thousands of pounds for charity is helping to save lives in memory of a ten-year-old boy.

Tesco worker James Crawford has devotes his time to organising bingo and quiz nights in aid of local good causes.

In his latest show of generosity he handed over £400 to Jayden's Rainbow which helps campaign for more public access to defibs.

The charity was set up by Port Glasgow mum Kathleen Orr following the death of her son.

Now the kind-hearted donation will help replace batteries and pads on their existing life saving devices.

James, who lives in Newton Street, said: "This is a really brilliant charity and I wanted to show my support.

"Since I started this I have raised about £6,000 for good causes. I like to help people in my own community.

"On facebook I organise local bingo games and quizzes."

In In the last year James has donated cash to around 15 causes including Mind Mosaic, Wellpark Nursery, Man On Inverclyde, Compassionate Inverclyde and the Salvation Army.

During covid he supported nurses on the covid ward and recently donated £500 to the local collection for the Ukraine.

Kathleen, who set up her charity so the memory of her son Jayden lives on, following his sudden death while ice skating nearly five years ago.

She said: "I really appreciate this donation and it will make a big difference to what we are trying to do."

Kathleen recently called for a local app to be set up to show the location of every defib in Inverclyde.
