An Introduction and Thank You From Our New Chief Executive
What’s struck me on joining the organisation is the commitment and dedication of the Ayrshire community. Our volunteers are exceptional and they continually contribute to high quality service delivery.
Thank you for your committed and generous support at Christmas. It’s not always an easy time of year either financially or emotionally, so I thank you sincerely for anything you are able to give which means we can continue to support local people affected by cancer.

Ayr Centre Completion
With the completion of our support centre in Ayr, it has been transformed into the region’s only dedicated complete support facility for children, young people and adults affected by cancer in Ayrshire.
Our centres in Kilmarnock and Ayr will remain open on 24th, 29th, 30th and 31st of December, closing at 2pm on both Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. We will be re-opening on Monday 5 January 2026.
