At Ardgowan Hospice, we are continuously inspired and uplifted by the incredible fundraising support we receive from our local community. Their efforts, creativity, and generosity help us provide vital care and services to those in need.

On this Fundraising Friday, we want to thank everyone who has supported us recently by showcasing the power of community spirit, highlighting some of the fundraising efforts in Inverclyde:

Wemyss Bay Community Association hosted an afternoon tea in memory of a much-loved craft club member, Juliane Neilson, who passed away earlier this year. More than 60 people from around the village and beyond gathered for some prosecco and raffle tickets to go around. The day raised £465, which has been donated to Ardgowan Hospice.
