Celebration Tree continues growing...
This equipment – and more – will help us make every day matter for our patients at the Ayrshire Hospice. Although we think of them as essential features, they are unfortunately not cheap to buy. It costs around £30,000 to completely equip just one room – which is why we’re asking for help. You can kindly donate by scanning the QR code above, calling the Fundraising Office on 01292 288 488 , or visiting our website at ayrshirehospice.org
The remaining £3.2 million to complete the build will ensure the Hospice will be fit for the next 30 years and beyond. To fully equip all 12 of our single-patient bedrooms, we still need: Patient comfort kits, containing cosy nightwear, brand new towels, and luxury yet gentle bath and shower gels (perfect for patients with sore, sensitive skin) - £28.90 per set

The Ayrshire Hospice is extremely grateful to all its wonderful supporters who kindly dedicated a leaf in memory of a loved one on our Celebration Tree, which resulted in an amazing total of £16,241.10 being raised last year!
12 queen-size sofa beds, one for each bedroom, so that visitors can cosy up with their loved ones and stay overnight - £671 per couch
Leaves will stay on the tree for a year, so you have plenty of time to see them in person or online, after which point they can either be renewed or returned to you. For more information or to order a leaf today, visit our website ayrshirehospice.org or call our fundraising office on 01292 288 488
Supporters are most welcome to visit the Celebration Tree at The Portal, Irvine during its opening hours. The tree will remain there until 2024 when it will return to the Hospice’s traditional home in Racecourse Road, Ayr, once building work on our Capital Project is complete.
Our ‘celebration leaves’ come in three different colours: rose gold (£8.40 monthly/£100 annually), white gold (£16.70 monthly/£200 annually) or yellow gold (£25 monthly/£300 annually), and can be inscribed with a dedication of your choice. Dedicating a leaf to the memory of someone special offers a personal way to pay tribute to your loved one, all while supporting the work of the Hospice.
12 hoists, which will be part of the bed system. They’ll be hidden behind the bedhead under attractive panelling until they’re needed to help a patient get out of bed or visit our landscaped gardens - £5,655 per system Specialist beds that can adjust to different lengths, heights, temperatures and inclines to meet the patients’ needs and wants. Cuddle Beds, for example, can expand to the size of a double, allowing families to have a proper cuddle - £8,394 to £15,000 per bed
