Charity fundraiser to be held in memory of Ayrshire businessman Kevin Finnie
Kevin, who made his name in the hospitality industry and owned a number of venues across Ayrshire, died aged 55 last July.
The daughter of a popular Ayrshire businessman is holding a charity night in a bid to raise funds in memory of her father.
Kevin Finnie, who owned and operated a number of Ayrshire hospitality venues, died on July 25, 2024 and his daughter Zara is holding a charity fundraiser a year to the day after his death.
She aims to raise money for Beautiful Inside & Out - the charity which helped her through some of the most difficult times in her life.
'A Bevvy for Kevvy' will take place this Friday and a Just Giving page has been set up for anyone who wishes to donate.
Zara said: "This Friday marks one year since I lost my amazing dad, Kevin Finnie. To honour his memory and the incredible person he was, I'm putting on a charity night to raise funds for a cause that means so much to me.
"The charity we're supporting is Beautiful Inside & Out – SCIO. In one of the darkest times of my life, they reached out with compassion, understanding, and genuine support.
"Their work helps people struggling with grief, mental health, and emotional pain, and I'll always be grateful for the kindness they showed me.
"This charity night is not only about remembering my dad – it's about giving back, spreading love, and making sure others don't have to go through difficult times alone.
"Any donation, big or small, means the world. Thank you for helping me celebrate my dad's life in a way that helps others heal."
