A colourful army helped to raise thousands of pounds for a good cause when donning snazzy get-up for a charity. The annual Ayrshire Hospice Go Purple Day tipped the scales at almost £15,000 after businesses hosted themed events.

The 2021 campaign also crossed with national hospice care week which helps to raise the profile of hospice care in the UK. Many schools and businesses across South Ayrshire joined in the purple fun including Forehill Primary School, Girvan Academy, William Kennedy Plumbing, St Ninian’s Primary and Early Years Centre, O’Neil Gas, Asda in Ayr and Sainsbury’s in Prestwick, to name but a few.
