THE Ayrshire Hospice has received an £18,000 funding boost from The National Lottery Community Fund Scotland’s Awards for All program.

The funding will be used to run the charity's Living Well Hubs from now until September 2025.

The hubs are located across Ayrshire and Arran, with one in each of the three local authorities.

They offer an eight-week rolling programme designed to provide those with life-limiting illnesses the information they need to live well.

The hubs also provide a space to meet like-minded people and form new connections within your local community.

A hospice spokesperson said: "The Living Well Hubs represent an important way for individuals in the community to communicate, bringing people together and transforming lives.

"This award is a testament to the impact of the work of the Hospice, and an endorsement to continue providing this service across Ayrshire and Arran.

"We are delighted to have received this award from The National Lottery Community Fund, made possible by National Lottery players."
