There are so many unique ways that the local community supports the Ayrshire Hospice, and we are so grateful for all the donations we receive, whether this is in our Fundraising Office or our shops. Recently, dedicated volunteers Ian, Rowena, and Norma have been cataloguing coins from around the world that have been generously donated. Some rare coins are over 500 years old and hold real value. These treasured donations not only provide a fantastic means of supporting the Hospice but also offer an educational journey, allowing us to trace the origins of these coins. Currently, some of the coins have travelled from the Cayman Islands to here in the UK! The journey they have travelled to reach us and the impact they will have on our fundraising is a lovely story to share. If you have any rare coins or any foreign currency you wish to part with, the Fundraising team in Miller Road, Ayr, would love to hear from you! Please contact the team on 01292 288 488 or email community@ayrshirehospice.org of the world By Emily Janes, Fundraiser c ins

This contribution helped staff to provide the gift of exceptional palliative and end of life care over the Christmas period. As always, the Ayrshire Hospice is incredibly grateful to the community for their generous support in achieving this remarkable amount. A special thank you goes to Julie for sharing her story, which served as the heart of our appeal.
