BREAKING NEWS

With a fundraising focus on DIY and virtual events due to COVID 19 restrictions, we have created a free 24-page fundraising guide which is packed full of ideas, hints and tips to help our supporters become fantastic fundraising heroes! We are asking you to create your own DIY events in aid of Ayrshire Cancer Support and help raise funds for Ayrshire’s leading cancer support charity.

Alongside Jai and Blair at today’s photoshoot are some of this year’s fantastic DIY fundraisers, including:

• Ria Kerr from Kilmarnock who raised £830 by organising her own walk.
• Liz Keohone and Sally Hamilton from Hurlford and Darvel who raised a whopping £10,280 by organizing their own golfing challenge.
• 2008’s Ayr Boswell team who raised an impressive £6,185 by virtually running between English Premier League stadiums.
• George Dunlop from Troon who raised over £800 by getting on his bike and cycling round the North East of Scotland.
• TCS, one of our charity corporate partners who raised £3,363 by taking part in the Kiltwalk Virtual Weekend by choosing their own route and walking 15 miles.

Martin Quigley, Corporate and Community Fundraising Manager for Ayrshire Cancer Support said, “With the majority of our 2020 fundraising events cancelled due to COVID-19 it’s had a devastating effect on our community income. We are asking our community to help us raise urgently needed funds so that we can continue to help thousands of local people affected by cancer. Our brochure is packed full of fun ideas, hints and tips to help you become a fantastic fundraiser and reach your fundraising targets. We are always in awe at the amount of hard work that goes into fundraising from our supporters in the community - we need to raise around £2,500 every day to help deliver our free daily services. We provide over 12,000 free patient transport journeys to hospital appointments and deliver around 6,000 free therapeutic appointments each year. Like many others this hasn't been a normal year for us - we urgently need these services on our doorstep and by organising your own event in aid of Ayrshire Cancer Support you are ensuring your money stays locally and will make a big difference to people who live here in Ayrshire”.

Sign up today and we'll send you out a FULL fundraising pack including our new brochure with lots of fundraising materials!
