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.
Claire Stuart-Paulin, senior fundraiser at Ayrshire Hospice, said: “A huge thanks go to the South Ayrshire community who once again pulled out all the purple stops on Go Purple Day in aid of the hospice.
“We are so grateful for your support, creativity and energy.
“This is the 10th year we have celebrated Go Purple and what a year it has been!
“Funds have been flooding in and we are delighted to announce the campaign has raised an incredible £14,780!”
With lots of new things being introduced to Go Purple in 2022, it’s time to save the date – Friday, October 14.
