Clyde Coast and Garnock Valley Crematorium has made a significant donation of £17,000 to Ayrshire Hospice, to help support vital care and services provided to patients and families across Ayrshire.
The donation reflects the crematorium’s ongoing commitment to giving back to the communities it serves and supporting local groups that have a lasting positive impact on the lives of local people.
Since opening in June 2018, the crematorium is proud to have donated more than £100,000 to local charitable causes. Clyde Coast has been a committed participant in the ICCM Metals Recycling Scheme. Demonstrating its dedication to sustainability, ethical practice and community support. The scheme converts recovered metals into financial contributions for bereavement charities, hospice and cancer support organisations throughout the UK and has generated over £22 million.
Ron Swanson, Fundraising Manager, Ayrshire Hospice says “The continued support of Clyde Coast & Garnock Valley Crematorium is greatly appreciated, and this generous donation will make a meaningful difference to people and families across Ayrshire and Arran. Bereavement can be one of the most difficult experiences anyone faces, and we are incredibly grateful to the team at Clyde Coast, whose ongoing support helps us continue to provide compassionate bereavement counselling for those coping with the death of a loved one.
As a charity, it costs more than £10.2 million each year to deliver our services, with over two-thirds of our funding coming from voluntary donations. Thanks to the incredible team at Clyde Coast, this generous contribution will help us continue to provide specialist care and support for patients and families through our bereavement services, In-Patient Unit, Living Well Hubs and community teams, wherever a person calls home.”
Clyde Coast Manager Lynsey Finnie says “It is a great honour for our team here at Clyde Coast to support bereavement charities. Every day, we see first- hand the pain and grief that loss can bring to our families. There is comfort and pride knowing that their loved one’s legacy continues to make a difference, providing support, comfort and hope to others during difficult times.”
