WE NEED YOUR HELP!
We rely on voluntary donations and help from people like you to undertake our vital work. There are lots of ways you can help, see below and please get involved!
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who donates to us. You can make a donation by credit card online or send a cheque or postal order to 5 Dundonald Road, Kilmarnock KA1 1EQ. We also run a regular giving scheme where you commit to give anything from £1 a month. Please call 01563 538008 for a standing order form or alternatively print one off online .
If you are a UK taxpayer, you can make your gift worth even more at no extra cost to you. All you have to do is complete a gift aid form and we can reclaim tax from the government so that every £1 you donate is worth £1.25 to Ayrshire Cancer Support. It’s easy and means we are able to do so much more.
We could not do what we do without the continued contribution of our Volunteers. We have a range of volunteering opportunities available, and you can volunteer as little or as much time as suits you.
Volunteering can be rewarding, fulfilling and on a personal level, can help build confidence and enhance social skills. It provides the opportunity to meet new people and support others. It can also be a useful addition to your CV. Induction and appropriate training will be provided.

First and foremost in your mind when drafting a Will are your loved ones. However, once they have been provided for, your thoughts may turn to causes that you care about. We hope that one of these will be Ayrshire Cancer Support.
Many people assume that such gifts must be large sums of money, but this is not necessarily the case. Gifts left to Ayrshire Cancer Support have ranged from under £100 to a few thousand pounds. What matters is that they all combine to play a vital role in making our work possible.
Visit our Gifts in Wills page for more information.
We rely on donated items to sell in our charity shops so please think of us the next time you’re having a clear-out. We accept most things from clothes and books to homewares and small pieces of furniture, providing they are in good condition.
You can also sell items online using eBay for Charity and help support Ayrshire Cancer Support by nominating us as your favourite charity.
Items we are unable to accept:
We are grateful for all donations, however there are certain items we are unable to accept, either because we cannot sell them or we do not have the capacity to store them. When this happens, the charity has to pay for disposal and we know this is the last thing you would want to happen.
Please click here to view the list of items we are unable to accept.
The next time you’re shopping online, why not visit our online shop and enter the easyfundraising website which allows you to shop at your favourite high street stores. You pay exactly the same price as on the retailers’ main sites, often lower than on the high street, and we will receive a commission based on your purchases.
Have a look at our own online shop for gift ideas and seasonal items like Christmas cards and calendars.
One of the easiest and most fun ways to help us raise funds is by taking part in one of our fundraising events.
