At Abercorn House Care Home, meaningful moments often start with small acts of kindness, and the inspiring story of Marion and Alice is no exception.
Earlier this month, the sisters began volunteering together at the Salvation Army Charity Shop in Hamilton, turning a shared experience into something truly special. What began as a simple weekly commitment is now blossoming into a growing community initiative, with more residents set to join them.
Read on to discover how this beautiful act of giving back is strengthening family ties, building community connections, and bringing purpose and joy to everyone involved.
At Abercorn House Care Home, we are proud to support meaningful opportunities that enrich lives of our residents, and the story of Marion Conquer and her sister Alice is a beautiful example of that spirit.
On 9th of July 2025, Marion and Alice began their journey as volunteers at the Salvation Army Charity Shop in Hamilton, following their induction. Together, they now volunteer once a week, sorting through jewellery and helping with pricing, a small act with a big impact.
For Marion, this isn’t just about volunteering, it’s about staying connected to her faith, her community, and most importantly, her sister. For Alice, it’s a chance to spend precious time with Marion in a meaningful way. Their shared experience is strengthening their bond and bringing purpose and joy into their week.
What makes this story even more special is that more residents from Abercorn will soon be joining them in this wonderful initiative, turning this act of kindness into a growing circle of community involvement and connection. Recently welcoming another resident, Drina to take part, below are pictures from their latest volunteer day.
We are incredibly proud of Marion and Alice and excited to see how this small, heartfelt act continues to blossom, touching not only their lives but the lives of those around them.
