The McKinstry Company is proud to announce that we will be supporting Ayrshire Baby Loss Support (ABLS) for 2021/22. ABSL offers support to anyone affected by the loss of a baby at any stage. Their support comes in various forms including meetings, online support, and telephone support. The committee, who have all experienced baby loss themselves, have been supporting and fundraising to help bereaved parents for more than three decades. This is a voluntary organisation that is close in the hearts of the team and something we are really looking forward to fundraising for.
The charity group has some very exciting events planned in order to fundraise for Ayrshire Baby Loss, keep your eyes peeled on how you can get involved.
The McKinstry Company’s charity of the year for 2020/21 is Whiteley’s Retreat. Whiteley’s Retreat provides free therapeutic short breaks for children, young people and their families with cancer and life altering illnesses. In February, the firm ran a free Wills promotion, asking customers to donate £50 to the charity and they would receive a Will for free. This raised a whopping £10,000!!! Team members also participated in a “Walk to Berlin” walking over 1200 miles and raising an amazing £3500 for Whiteley’s.
In October 2021, The McKinstry Company will be running free Wills for Ayrshire Hospice. The Ayrshire Hospice are committed to reaching and improving the lives of those affected by life-limiting illness in Ayrshire by delivering exceptional care. Their vital work helps people to live as actively as they can to the end of their lives, they are dedicated to making today matter.
