EXTRA PUSH NEEDED TO SECURE FUNDS FOR NEW CANCER CENTRE FOR SOUTH AYRSHIRE

HOW WE CAN SUPPORT YOU HOW MUCH CAN YOU TURN £100 INTO?
WELCOME
It’s hard to believe that we are already
immersed in spring and summer activities at
Ayrshire Cancer Support.
Since our last newsletter, Ayrshire’s leading
cancer support charity has been busy
providing free services to the Ayrshire
community. As a small charity, with a big
remit, our small staff team supported by
our large band of volunteers has helped to
support thousands of people through their
cancer diagnosis.
As demand for our services grows, I would
like to make a special appeal to anyone
who has a few spare hours each week to
come forward and help us. The recent NHS
chemotherapy service review has highlighted
the important issue of how cancer patients
travel to their hospital appointments to receive
chemotherapy and radiotherapy – and whilst 90% of the journeys we undertake are to
the Beatson Oncology Centre in Glasgow, there is also a real need to take patients for
their treatment at Ayr and Crosshouse Hospitals. We anticipate again this year, that
we will make over 13,000 journeys to hospital – but we can’t do it without the help of
our volunteer drivers. If you can volunteer to drive patients to hospital, please get in
touch.
Our capital fundraising campaign, Home4Cancer, has also been in the news, and we
have almost raised enough money to buy a property to turn into a drop-in and therapy
centre in Ayr, like the one we have in Kilmarnock. This sees us approach the end of
Phase One, thereafter we will need to raise funds to refurbish and create a purpose
built space which serves the needs of cancer patients and their families that live in
or near South Ayrshire.
Our therapeutic services have also been in great demand and as the general public
become more comfortable with talking about their mental health and well-being,
so do people affected by cancer. Many years ago there would have been a stigma
associated with cancer and counselling – it’s so encouraging that people now see
the real and lasting benefits of talking to a trained professional counsellor about how
they feel and how they can adopt strategies to cope. If you need to speak to someone
about how you are feeling, in relation to a cancer diagnosis or a bereavement, we can
provide free professional counselling at our centres in Ayr or Kilmarnock.
Every day, we need to raise around £2,500 to provide our free services at our centres,
in the community and in hospital wards across Ayrshire. We receive no funding
from the government or the NHS – and are funded by the generosity of the Ayrshire
community – both business and private. I’d like to thank each of our supporters for
doing their bit and continuing to make a difference to the lives of people affected by
cancer.
Finally, I’d like to thank all of our volunteers, because it is only due to their dedication
and desire to help others that we can provide the personal support we do. We are a
relatively small and local organisation yet we are able to provide a substantial number
of support services completely free of charge to cancer patients and their loved ones.
I hope for your continued support to help ensure we can carry on providing free, face
to face support and practical help to the many people who need us, in 2020 and well
beyond.
Thank you for all that you do in helping to make a difference to the lives of people
affected by cancer throughout Ayrshire.

HEALTH AND WELLBEING
@ DUMFRIES HOUSE
Ayrshire Cancer Support were approached by the team at
Dumfries House after the opening of their new Health and
Wellbeing centre, and asked if we could provide services
within the venue. After initial visits to the centre and
listening to feedback from the local community, we are
delighted to offer some of our services free of charge there.
Louise Graeme, Head of Cancer Support Services said,
‘After meeting with the team at Dumfries House and
recognising the need for the delivery of outreach services in
the Cumnock area, we decided to offer counselling services
in connection with cancer at the Health and Wellbeing
centre. Not everyone finds it easy to arrange transport to
our centres in Ayr and Kilmarnock, and although we can
arrange this free of charge, we felt it would be easier for
patients and their families to access Dumfries House.
We are delighted that we can now arrange our services
in the beautiful surroundings of Dumfries House by
appointment with clients living in the Cumnock area.’
To arrange an appointment, call 01563

AND HELP YOUR COMMUNITY AT THE SAME TIME
We are delighted to have launched our
latest corporate brochure, which outlines
the benefits of becoming a business
partner of Ayrshire Cancer Support.
Todays’ customers hold companies to a
higher standard. They’re looking for more
than just material products or quality services
when choosing a company to work with:
9 in 10 consumers expect companies to
not only make a profit, but also operate
responsibly to address social issues,
particularly in their own community.
Eighty-four per cent of consumers also
said they seek out responsible businesses
whenever possible, the majority of whom
prefer partnerships to directly benefit
their local community. Recognising
how important social responsibility is
to customers and employees, many
companies now focus on and practice
corporate social responsibility (CSR).
More companies are now engaging in
local charity partnerships as there is
a recognition that they directly benefit
their employees and their families.
Undertaking socially responsible
initiatives is truly a win-win situation. Not
only will your company appeal to socially
conscious consumers and employees,
but you’ll also make a real difference in
the Ayrshire community. Engage your
employees and customers in giving
back. Business owners in the corporate
world have more power than many
realise and using that power to improve
the local community can bring
people of all backgrounds, ages and
interests together. By engaging your
employees and customers in giving
back, corporations can solve big local
problems and have a huge impact!
“THIS NEW WAVE OF BUYERS IS DEMANDING TRANSPARENCY,
AND WHEN GIVEN THE CHOICE, WILL ALMOST ALWAYS CHOOSE
