Go Purple on October 9th!
After last years fun and success, we’re again inviting YOU, our amazing schools, businesses, and local community, to join us on Friday, the 9th of October, to help create a wave of purple in support of Ardgowan Hospice!
Whether it’s a pair of purple socks, a full-on purple takeover of your office or classroom, a bake sale, a raffle, or simply spreading the word, every purple moment will help make a difference to the people we serve.
Why go purple?
Over 65% of our £11,000 a day running costs need to be raised through fundraising and donations from compassionate individuals, groups and organisations like yourself. Behind every cupcake, costume, and conversation, you’re helping fund vital, compassionate care for patients and families in Inverclyde.
Life shortening conditions affects all of us - our friends, our families, our neighbours. But together, we can bring comfort, dignity, and specialist care to those who need it most—right here in our community.
