It Takes A Village exhibition - Ayrshire Hospice

It Takes A Village exhibition - Ayrshire Hospice

Organised by Ayrshire Hospice

5-11 May

Ayrshire Hospice

This exhibition is for the Ayrshire Hospice community.

There is an old African proverb –‘It takes a village to raise a child – meaning, children need the input and support of their whole community to grow into well-rounded adults. But doesn’t it also ‘take a village’ to support someone who is dying?

The Scottish Partnership for Palliative Care has worked with award-winning Glasgow based photographer, Colin Gray, to produce this powerful and challenging series of portraits and personal stories. It Takes a Village explores the idea that as people’s health deteriorates, care and support comes in many guises.

Ayrshire Hospice will be showing this powerful exhibition of portraits during Demystifying Death Week.
