Thank you to Tracey and everyone at Tesco for this fantastic donation of Halloween costumes and masks! 💀👻🎃

Our Distribution Centre will be CLOSED from the 12th -16th October as Hill Street is CLOSED for the week due to resurfacing works. So the team have decided to use up some annual leave before the madness of Christmas starts! 😂

The shops will remain open during this time for any donations you may have.

We apologise in advance for any inconvenience and we will reopen on Monday 19th October at 9am.

Many thanks

Okay, we know its only September.. but we have to start early, so...

It’s time to Feel The Magic of Christmas with Hillhouse! 🎅🏼🎄

Our Christmas Present Appeal helps support families; by ensuring every child living in our community, who is referred to us, receives two brand new gifts on Christmas morning. Children from birth to age 16 will be able to open a brand new toy and a new pair of pyjamas on Christmas morning.

In 2025 we gave out 3288 presents to 1644 children living in Ayrshire. This year has been particularly difficult for families and we need your help more than ever.

We would be delighted to accept donations of new toys and pyjamas, (not Christmas pyjamas) which can be dropped off at our Distribution Centre in Kilmarnock. We kindly ask that all items donated are unwrapped.

We’d also be grateful to receive donations of chocolate, selection boxes, sellotape, wrapping paper and sticky labels etc!

Donations of make up; aftershave, perfumes, toiletry sets, adult sized t-shirts, pants and socks would also be fantastic for the teenagers who are referred to us.

We have also set up a JustGiving page to allow those who would like to support us but perhaps don’t live local or who are unable to purchase a gift themselves.

We appreciate your support and the contribution your donation makes to young children living in your community. Please share our post with your family and friends.

Thank you. 🎁🎅🏼

*EDIT - Thank you to everyone who has donated baby car seats over the last couple of days. We've been overwhelmed by the response. We're no longer needing baby car seats, however we still require sterilisers. Many thanks! *

Hi everyone. We're urgently needing baby first size car seats and sterilisers, as we have none in stock and have families on a waiting list.

If you have a baby car seat or a steriliser that you no longer require, but it is in good condition, we'd love to hear from you.

Please drop your donation into:
11 Hill Street
Kilmarnock
KA3 1HA

Open: Mon-Thu: 9am-4.30pm & Fri: 9am-2pm.

Please share our post. Many thanks!
