Did you know... The Ayrshire Hospice has a counselling service for children and young people from 5 to 18?
Ayrshire Hospice Golf Day Monday 12th August, West Kilbride Golf Club
Start the day with a bacon roll, tea, and coffee before enjoying your round in the competition. The day’s play will take the form of a Texas Scramble. Tee-off times will be spaced at ten-minute intervals, with lunch or dinner following your game.
Any child in Ayrshire and Arran who has a loved one with a life-limiting illness or who is bereaved due to a life-limiting illness can access support from our qualified counsellor. Counselling can help children become more aware of their emotions around illness, loss, and death, and recognise difficult feelings while understanding grief. This can reduce anxiety and increase emotional well-being, developing skills they can use in other life situations. We use a variety of resources, including games, art, and worry dolls knitted by our very own craft team!
Here is what the families say: ‘I can’t thank you enough for the support you have given. It’s made such a difference.’ ‘The fact that she keeps wanting to talk to you says it all.’ And the kids’ feedback? ‘I know now that I didn’t make my gran die.’ ‘I am still sad, but I feel better. I can manage it now.’ ‘Banging!’
There are only a few tee times left, so be quick! Scan the QR code to book!

The Ayrshire Hospice continues to explore ways to collaborate with colleagues across Health and Social Care Partnerships. Recently, the Education Department worked with external colleagues to develop and deliver palliative education on specific care needs. This was a great opportunity to share the palliative care vision and involve our Quality Improvement Facilitator.
Working with the North Ayrshire Learning and Development team, the Ayrshire Hospice trained 42 personal carers who provide care to people in their own homes. Evaluations showed participants had a greater understanding of palliative care, its purpose, and their role in supporting those with life- limiting conditions. Care homes across Ayrshire also recognise their significant role in delivering Palliative and End of Life Care. By working with the NHS A&AHB - Care Home Professional
Support Team, we developed and delivered an education programme that was successfully piloted and continues. Finally, focusing on our own staff, we collaborated with the Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice to create and deliver a new, innovative communication workshop. This positive collaboration allowed staff from both hospices to meet, improve their skills, share stories, and learn from each other.
