Fun in the sun at beach party

-

Summer is almost here.

And for the team at the South Ayrshire Befriendin­g Project, that meant the perfect opportunit­y to hit the beach.

The group is celebratin­g a milestone this year with its 25th anniversar­y.

And a host of special events will be held to mark the big occasion.

Staff, volunteers and children headed for Ayr beach to transform the sands for a party atmosphere.

There was a host of games to keep everyone entertaine­d.

And thankfully, the sun played ball to ensure everyone had a fantastic time.

Post photograph­er Mark Anderson was there to capture the best of the action as everyone made a splash at the seaside.

over £155,000 annually, which is so valuable to terminally ill people and their families who benefit from their support. Like many in the third sector, some of our volunteer roles have either been put on hold or switched to virtual support over the last 12 months. This has been a difficult adjustment as we know that for many who volunteer with the aim of helping others - is that their own wellbeing is maintained and improved. We’d like to take the time this week to thank all of our volunteers for many ways they continued to support.

Every single action taken by our volunteers has helped us enormously. As we slowly emerge from the gloomy depths of the last 15 months, we look forward to being able to bring back many volunteers and thank them all for their heart, patience and time.
