The crematorium donated £12,500 to Ayrshire Hospice and CHAS through a metal recycling scheme, supporting vital local services.
Jennifer Hamilton manages the crematorium and she thinks it is wonderful to donate. The money helps provide important services so local families really benefit from this.
Hospice costs keep going up and they depend on donations to function. They are grateful for family permission because it allows them to recycle metals after cremation.
Even small metal items help charities. These charities aid the bereaved and the crematorium is proud of this recycling. They donated £116,100 since 2018 and it assisted local hospice care a lot.
Ron Swanson works for Ayrshire Hospice and said they depend on donations. The crematorium’s help makes their work possible as they give the best care possible in Ayrshire.
The crematorium supports bereavement counseling too. Cara Bowen fundraises for CHAS and said they need community support to help children with serious illnesses. CHAS wants to support every family so they don’t want anyone grieving alone. This donation helps them be present and support families for the tough journey. They thanked the crematorium a lot because the money brings joy to children.
