Seamill, Ayrshire - March 3rd, 2026 - Seamill Hydro, the renowned coastal hotel in Ayrshire, today announced a significant new partnership with Ayrshire Cancer Support (ACS), a vital local charity dedicated to improving the lives of individuals and families impacted by cancer. This collaboration represents a commitment from both organizations to bolster cancer care and support services within the Ayrshire community.

The partnership, unveiled this morning, will see Seamill Hydro dedicate a percentage of its profits to ACS, directly funding the charity's expanding range of services. Beyond financial contributions, the hotel will also facilitate volunteer opportunities for its staff, encouraging employees to actively engage with and support the charity's mission. This holistic approach underlines a shared ethos of community responsibility and compassionate care.

ACS provides a comprehensive suite of support for cancer patients and their loved ones, encompassing not only emotional and psychological therapy but also crucial financial aid and practical assistance. This can include everything from transportation to appointments and home help to guidance on benefits and accessing necessary resources. The demand for these services has steadily increased in recent years, reflecting both a growing population and advancements in cancer treatment - meaning more people are living with cancer for longer, often requiring long-term support.

Paul Borrowman, Managing Director of Seamill Hydro, explained the rationale behind the partnership: "At Seamill Hydro, we've always believed in being an active and responsible member of the Ayrshire community. When we learned more about the incredible work Ayrshire Cancer Support does, it became clear that a partnership was a natural fit. Their values - compassion, care, and dedication to improving lives - perfectly align with our own. We are incredibly proud to support them and hope to make a real, tangible difference to the lives of those facing the challenges of cancer."

Helen Paterson, Chief Executive of Ayrshire Cancer Support, expressed her gratitude for the hotel's commitment. "This partnership with Seamill Hydro is a fantastic boost for ACS and couldn't have come at a better time. We've seen a significant increase in demand for our services, and this support will allow us to continue providing vital assistance to more people in need across Ayrshire. The financial contribution is, of course, incredibly valuable, but the opportunity for Seamill Hydro's staff to volunteer their time and skills will be equally impactful. It's a true testament to their commitment to the community."

The collaboration extends beyond simple fundraising. Seamill Hydro is also exploring opportunities to host ACS events at the hotel, further raising awareness of the charity's work and offering a comfortable and supportive environment for patients, families, and carers. Plans are underway for a gala dinner in Autumn 2026, with proceeds going directly to ACS.

The Growing Need for Cancer Support in Ayrshire

Recent statistics from the Scottish Cancer Registry highlight the increasing incidence of cancer in Ayrshire and Arran. While survival rates are improving, the number of people living with and beyond cancer continues to rise, placing greater strain on local support services. ACS plays a critical role in bridging the gap between medical treatment and holistic care, addressing the emotional, financial, and practical challenges that cancer patients often face.

Furthermore, the charity has expanded its services in recent years to include specialized programs for young people affected by cancer and support groups for carers, recognizing the unique needs of these often-overlooked groups. The partnership with Seamill Hydro will help ensure the sustainability and expansion of these vital programs.

Seamill Hydro's decision to partner with ACS underscores a growing trend among businesses to embrace corporate social responsibility and actively support local charities. By investing in the health and wellbeing of the community, companies like Seamill Hydro are demonstrating that business success and social impact can go hand in hand.
