Our Urgent Appeal has officially ended, and we are completely overwhelmed by the generosity, compassion, and support shown by our community. Together, the community has raised an outstanding £167,186. Thanks to your donations, we are now in a much stronger position to continue providing vital care to patients and families across Inverclyde. Every single contribution has made a meaningful difference.

This amount would have never been possible without the support of businesses:

• Golden Casket
• McDonald’s in the Community
• A&I Geotechnical
• Diodes Greenock
• Bonnie Bounty Competitions
• Logical Land Ltd

Alongside these donations from businesses, other local companies and schools got involved by hosting events to raise funds for the appeal, including haircuts, play days, sponsored walks and open days. We are so thankful for:

• Victoria Bowling Club
• CRAFT Hair Studio
• Primark
• APlus Fitness
• Jacqui Jack’s Play & Learn
• Greenock JobCentre Plus
• MYlife
• Ceilidh Event
• MISC FC
• Boys Brigade
• Old Gourock & Ashton Church
• St John’s Primary
• Gwen’s Childminding

We cannot express our gratitude enough to all who hosted events across Inverclyde, helping to raise awareness for the campaign whilst also raising vital funds.

To the individuals who supported us, your kindness ensures our team can continue to provide compassionate, specialist care to patients and families across Inverclyde, exactly when they need it most.

Whilst our appeal has now ended, the reality is that the challenges facing hospices like ours are far from over. Across the UK, hospice care remains in a fragile state. We continue to navigate a difficult financial climate and urgently need more sustainable, long-term support, along with fairer government funding, to safeguard our future.

We simply couldn’t do what we do without people like you and your continued support. Thank you for being there when we needed you most.
