A record £21,801 was raised at the Ayrshire Hospice’s annual Golf Day at West Kilbride in August this year. With 40 four-ball teams participating, it was a busy day from the first tee to the 18th hole! The day started off with some drizzle but soon brightened up as players made their way around the course. West Kilbride Golf Club served up breakfast and lunch to all the players back at the clubhouse, which went down a treat. Thank you to our sponsors on the day; Kitchens by J S Geddes, Digby Brown Solicitors, George Murphy & Sons, Kilmarnock Hearing Care & Podiatry Clinic, The QTS Group, Solutions on Demand, Amer Sports and A1 Ironmongery & Plastics Ltd. A huge thank you also goes to West Kilbride Golf Club and to all who participated and donated prizes for this event. Fairway to Victory

Living Well Hubs secure Award for All
By Callum Duffy Senior Fundraiser
The Ayrshire Hospice is delighted to have received an award of £18,155 from the National Lottery’s Awards for All program to fund Living Well Hubs from October 2024 until September 2025. The National Lottery sought initiatives that support people to build strong relationships within their communities while directly involving the communities being supported. For the Living Well team, this is precisely what the Hubs aim to achieve.
In addition to providing information sessions on topics that attendees want to learn more about, such as planning well, remembering well, and sleeping well, the Living Well Hubs offer various activities, including puzzles and art, all designed to bring people together Attendees across the Living Well Hubs have reported feeling “empowered” through their experiences, valuing the “company” and “camaraderie” fostered during the sessions. This positive impact is a testament to the work of Ayrshire Hospice and the Living Well Hubs, and it’s a key reason we were successful in securing this award. This support will enable the Living Well Hubs to expand, respond to participant feedback, and build on their success. This may involve adapting the information session programme or reaching out to adjacent community groups to build relationships between different groups.
Available in our shops and at our Fundraising Office at 29 Miller Road, Ayr, you can also scan the QR code to shop online at ayrshirehospice.org
