Kilwinning Friends of the AYRSHIRE HOSPICE.

Kilwinning Friends was formed in February 1987 to assist in raising funds for the establishment of the AYRSHIRE HOSPICE. As a result of fundraising by many groups and individuals throughout Ayrshire the HOSPICE, located at 35/37 Racecourse Road, Ayr, opened its doors to the first patients in 1989.

The AYRSHIRE HOSPICE is a registered charity and provides Specialist Palliative Care for patients throughout Ayrshire. Palliative Care improves the life of patients and their families facing life-threatening illness through the prevention, assessment and treatment of pain and other physical, psychological and spiritual problems. All Hospice services are free of charge and patients are referred by their GP or hospital consultant and are accepted on the basis of medical need, regardless of background, religion or culture. For more information about the Hospice please go the website www.ayrshirehospice.org

Kilwinning Friends have raised more than £100 000 in the last 21 years by organising many events. These have included coffee mornings, quiz night, pamper evening, bingo, choir concerts, duck races, door-to-door collections, annual Light a light concerts etc. Events in 2008 have included - Bingo night, Concert by Shrewsbury Police Choir, stall at Segdoune Carnival, Annual Duck Race, collection at Tesco, collection on Arran Ferry, Door-to-door collection and Annual Christmas Card Sale.

Forthcoming Events -  Thursday 26th August 2010 - Sale of Hospice Christmas Cards and Calendars - 10a.m. to 8p.m in the Scout Hall. Refreshments will be available.

On Saturday 28th August 2010 if you are travelling on the Ardrossan to Brodick ferry you will see us collecting for the Hospice.

From Monday 30th August 2010 to Friday 3rd September 2010 we will be doing a Door-to-Door collection throughout Kilwinning and on Saturday 4th September a collection in the main street.
