Story

By taking on this fundraising challenge not only are you experiencing a once in a lifetime trip but your are helping us Build The Future.

Ayrshire Hospice has been the sole provider of specialist palliative care across Ayrshire and Arran for over 30 years. Now we really need your help to ensure that we can keep delivering our services for future generations. This £13m project will enable us to revolutionise our built environment, improve our level of care for both patients and families, reinvigorating our educational and community access facilities and provide a hub of expertise which equally importantly allow us to expand our reach to all Ayrshire and Arran residents who wish to remain in their own homes to receive palliative care.

This trip will take the trekkers over sand dunes, camping out under the stars and experience all the Sahara Desert has to offer. Over five days they will tackle the sand and heat, mixed with the cold temperatures of night time.

About the charity

The Ayrshire Hospice

Verified by JustGiving

RCN SC011390
Our charity cares for adults in Ayrshire and Arran with life-limiting illnesses. We help them live as actively as possible to the end of their lives, however long that may be. Hospice care is open to all. It’s free for patients but it’s not free to provide. So we need to raise over £4M each year.
