The completion of our Capital Build Project is now in sight, and soon we’ll be returning to our beloved home at Racecourse Road. This marks a new chapter in our journey, and we can’t wait to bring patients, staff, and volunteers back to this special place that means so much to all of us. In this issue, you’ll see just how much is happening across the Hospice. From a variety of activities in our In-Patient Unit to the growth of our Education offering, we are continually enhancing our support for patients and their families. Our Respite and Response team is also doing incredible work, ensuring that families across Ayrshire and Arran have the support they need when it matters most. We’re also thrilled to welcome both returning and new volunteers to Racecourse Road. Volunteers play a huge role in everything we do, and their dedication is inspiring. Additionally, you’ll read about exciting changes in our Retail team, as they work hard to increase the impact of our charity shops and bring in even more funds to support our charity. There’s so much to look forward to in 2025. Our amazing community of fundraisers is already busy, and we can’t wait to celebrate all the events and initiatives that will continue to make a difference to those we care for. Thank you, as always, for your continued support. This is shaping up to be a year we will never forget, and we are incredibly grateful to have you with us on this journey. With gratitude,
