A grocery store owner and her husband are handing out parcels of hand sanitiser and face masks to the sick and elderly in central Scotland to help protect them against the coronavirus.
Asiyah Javed started the project after meeting an old woman who was upset that she had been unable to buy hand soap at her local supermarket because shelves had been emptied.
"I decided then to do something for the elderly," Javed, 34, from Stenhousemuir, near Falkirk, told AFP.
"I came back to the store and packed some hand wash and hand sanitiser and face masks into wee bags and posted on Facebook, saying there would free delivery for the elderly and infirmed customers."
"There was a time when all of the kids at the school had to be immunised and everything. You were forced to get it done... that was a right worrying time especially for folk with families."
"There was not a toilet roll on the shelves," she said of a recent visit to the shops. "I was lucky to get a kitchen roll."
