Well done to our foster carer, Pat Reid, who recently received a Community Champion Award at the South Ayrshire Volunteer Awards!
Pat was recognised for her charity work in North Ayr, and anyone who knows her will know just how well deserved this award is.
Congratulations! 👏
We often enter the New Year looking for ways to grow or give back. If you’ve ever felt called to do something meaningful, fostering could be that path.
Make 2026 the year your "fresh start" gives a child theirs.
