“I came to Ayrshire Cancer Support when my dad died of cancer. I started counselling with Gill, and we made a memory box. It helped me feel less angry and upset about what happened to my dad.”

Our Impact

Our aim is to support all those affected by cancer in Ayrshire.

We would not be able to offer the full range of free services we do without support from people like you.

Read more about the difference your support makes in our latest Impact Report.

Our Sponsors

We support thousands of people each year through transport, counselling, therapy, and wellbeing services—many of whom are dealing with severe physical, emotional, and financial challenges.

Strong corporate partnerships help us provide vital cancer support across Ayrshire. By working together, we can create real community impact while offering valuable benefits to your business.

Find out how your company can get involved.

Our Events

We need to raise £3,457 every day to continue delivering our life-changing services—and you can help.

From our Annual Ball to the Big Boxing Day Dip, there’s an event for everyone. Take on a challenge like the Kiltwalk or Edinburgh Marathon and make a real difference.

"My counsellor brought me out of the deepest darkest hole I had ever been in. Without him there would be no telling where I would be today. For this I will be forever grateful. He taught me ways to see things differently and cope with life as it is now. What an amazing man! Thank you for providing this service to people like me. Amazing!"
