Following on from the successful Cars and Coffee Morning held at Kilbride Presbyterian church on Saturday 22nd June 2024, the members were delighted to present a cheque to the NI Hospice for £2570.
This money will help the service greatly, especially the “Specialist Community Nurse” team. Pictured representing the Hospice are Julie Martin Community outreach fundraiser, Northern Ireland Hospice/Northern Ireland Children’s Hospice and Laura Johnston.
Rev Gareth McFadden, Minister at Kilbride, revealed why this charity means so much to everyone there:
“Laura is part of the Specialist Community Nurse team who have been working with and caring for Ted Turkington, a member of Kilbride Presbyterian. Ted wanted to give something back to the hospice in appreciation of their care. Dave Hoy and Ted got together to organise a Cars and Coffee morning which saw over 50 cars and 20 motorcycles and a wee grey Fergie turn out to support the fundraiser. We would like to thank all who attended or help to make the day such a success. Keep Saturday 21st June 2025 in your diary for a repeat event.”
