Ayrshire College were proud to partner with Ayrshire Hospice to deliver ‘Time for You’, a dedicated wellbeing event created especially for hospice staff and carers. 

 

Held on Thursday 2 April, this special event provided a calm and supportive space for those who give so much to pause, rest and recharge. Through a range of soothing therapeutic treatments, it aimed to reduce stress, promote wellbeing, and recognise the invaluable work carried out every day by hospice teams. 

 

Led by students from our Holistic Practitioner (Level 7) course, this initiative highlights the high-quality training at Ayrshire College while demonstrating the impact of strong community partnerships. With guidance from lecturer Janet Hall, students are not only developing their professional skills but also giving back in a meaningful and compassionate way. 

 

This collaboration reflects our commitment to supporting both learning and community wellbeing.

 

Student and event organiser Helen Campbell said: 

Starting the Holistic Practitioner (Level 7) course at Ayrshire College later in life, I’ve seen how important holistic treatments can be in helping people cope and feel supported. Being part of this event with Ayrshire Hospice is incredibly meaningful, as it allows me to give something back while gaining real experience. For me, it’s about more than learning techniques; it’s about offering calm, compassionate, human care when it matters most.
