Approximately 300 women celebrated a day of friends, fun, fizz and fundraising at Strathcarron Hospice Ladies Who Lunch event held at Glasgow Westerwood Hotel on Sunday.

 

The annual event featured shopping opportunities, games, dancing, a meal and entertainment from multi-talented Edward Reid who starred in Britain’s Got Talent.

 

Ainslie Mason, Event and Challenges Fundraiser for Strathcarron Hospice, said: “The sun was shining, everyone looked fantastic and we enjoyed a delicious meal, dancing and hilarious entertainment from the fantastic Edward Reid!

 

“Thank you to everyone who sponsored and supported us in kind with the event…and a special thank you to each and every one of you who came along and spent the day with us - you were incredible!

 

“A huge thanks to our generous sponsors Western Toyota Stirling and FES Ltd for their wonderful support. This means that every penny of the ticket money and donations on the day can go towards patient care.”

We support people across Forth Valley, Cumbernauld and Kilsyth living with a life limiting condition. We help to make every moment count for patients and their families, so that they can live well with their illness and make the most of the time they have, and when the time comes, to die well.

Strathcarron Hospice needs to raise around £116,000 a week to provide all their services, which are free to those who use them across our local communities.

With only one third of our hospice funded by the Government, we are incredibly grateful to our generous supporters who make up the significant shortfall.
