New playpark opens thanks to BAM Construction Local girl Kiva Holley helped Strathcarron Hospice officially open their new play park, created with the support of kind local businesses. The work was funded and co-ordinated by BAM Construction, who worked with contractors including Younger Play Ltd to complete the work. The welcoming space will provide respite for young people when they are visiting the Hospice. Kiva, (who is from Tillicoultry) was invited to officially open the play park as her great gran Sadie Inness had been cared for by Strathcarron’s Hospice at Home team in 2019. Claire Kennedy, Corporate Fundraiser, said: “We are very grateful to everyone at BAM for their generosity and help in creating this wonderful space for children to play, something vital for their emotional and physical well-being. Having a special space out-with the Hospice building to enjoy whilst visiting our patients will make a huge difference to our families who use our services. Businesses donating in-kind support like this is massively appreciated by all our staff and those we support.” Dougie Grant, BAM Construction said, “We are proud to have provided support to Strathcarron Hospice for decades and we were delighted to put our construction skills to good use to fund and build this brilliant play park that will make a huge difference to families who visit this incredible hospice. Thank you to Younger Play Ltd who we purchased the equipment from for their support”.
