RETAIL DETAIL
Thank you to all of our amazing Community Fundraisers
Celebrating Margaret : 29 Years of Dedication and a 90th Birthday!
Yvonne has been a dedicated volunteer at the Ayrshire Hospice Crown Street shop since 2017. Originally from Sabah, Malaysia, she moved to the UK in 1989 as a teenager to study. After completing her education, Yvonne lived in London for many years but decided to relocate to Ayr in 2016 to be closer to her brother and his family. After a year of settling in, Yvonne felt the desire to give back to the community she had grown to love. Volunteering at the Ayrshire Hospice shop seemed like the perfect opportunity to support a cause she cared about, while contributing to the local area. Since then, she has become a familiar and friendly face to both customers and fellow volunteers, forming strong connections along the way.

On 9th August, the Ayrshire Hospice Kilmarnock shop celebrated a remarkable milestone: beloved volunteer Margaret turned 90 years old! Since joining the Hospice on 1st June 1995, Margaret has dedicated an impressive 29 years and 4 months to supporting its purpose. To honour her special birthday, the team held a tea party with cake and flowers, a small gesture to show appreciation for her incredible service. Margaret continues to work as hard now as she did when she first started, embodying the true spirit of volunteering. Her passion and work ethic have made her an icon in the shop and an inspiration to everyone around her. The Ayrshire Hospice is immensely grateful to have Margaret as part of the Kilmarnock team.

Through her involvement with the choir, she continues to help raise funds for patient care, even outside her volunteering hours.
