MISSION CHRISTMAS Cash for Kids West Scotland
This Christmas, many children will be living in poverty across the West of Scotland and beyond. Many are at risk of waking up with nothing under the tree because Christmas is a luxury their families simply can’t afford.

Mission Christmas is here to change that. They are getting ready to help Santa reach children who might receive nothing – making sure they have something special to open on Christmas morning.

We are supporting this appeal by having a toy drop off point in our Thistle Help Irvine showroom. If you wish to make a donation, please drop them off by Tuesday 16th December to allow time for Santa and his elves to wrap the gifts.

Thank you for your support in advance πŸ™‚

We visited Ayrshire Hospice on Monday to hand over a cheque for Β£1,925.00 from our recent Go Purple coffee morning fundraiser. We are delighted to have raise this amount of money πŸ’œ

Thank you to Fundraising Manager Shalane Breen for giving us a tour of the new facility on Racecourse Road, Ayr. It is a beautiful space and feels so homely and welcoming. We also had a cuppa in their new coffee shop which is open to the public. Well worth a visit for some lovely home made food and tasty cakes.

Thank you to everyone who supported our coffee morning. Without your support and kind donations, this event wouldn't be possible 😊
