Marie Curie Hospice, Edinburgh

01/12/2025

💛🥇We are so honoured and privileged to have such wonderful supporters in our community, and today we'd like to shine a light on BobCat Alpacas who were recently presented with a truly well deserved certificate by Dr Scott Arthur MP. This was in recognition of Bob and Cath's long standing support of our Hospice and for raising over £10,000 at their last Open Day in August.

"It's amazing to have a business in Edinburgh South West (Bonaly) which makes time for such an important cause. ❤️ I raised their achievement in Parliament via an Early Day Motion, and I gave Bob the certificate marking this today."

How lucky and blessed we are, thank you 💛💛💛.

"Carole Downie, Ladies Captain at Prestonfield Golf Club nominated Marie Curie, Fairmilehead as the Women's Section charity for 2025. This was following her personal experience of the excellent care and support provided to family members. Raffles were held throughout the year at Women's Open Competitions and at the Ladies Captain v Ladies Vice Captain's Charity Day. We were grateful to everyone who supported our nominated charity to enable us to raise this fantastic amount."

Our heartfelt thanks to all the wonderful ladies at Prestonfield GC for their support throughout the year which culminated in the outstanding total of £2318 for care across Edinburgh and the Lothians. We are so grateful to you for choosing us; thank you for making a difference. 💛🏌🏽‍♀️💛
