Festive Fundraising tremendously helps patient care

Thanks to your help and kind donations our festive fundraising campaigns raised £77,910 to date, which covers the cost of our 14-bed inpatient ward for 13 days.

You got involved and raised money in:

Light up a Life: Our event gave an opportunity for families and friends to remember those no longer with us. Our services of remembrance took place once again and people who could not attend were able to watch the live stream on our website. Light up a Life appeal raised an incredible £25,360.

Caring Christmas: Many lovely people supported us with donations to help us to provide a lovely caring Christmas for patients and their families. For some families it was their last Christmas together. Our Caring Christmas appeal raised £9,350.

Christmas raffle: Our lucky winners scooped an amazing £5,000 between them. We felt like we were winning with every raffle ticket stub returned to us. Thank you to everyone who took part, you raised £11,200 for Hospice care at Christmas.

Reindeer Run: At Christmas, thousands of little reindeers helped Santa raise funds for the Hospice. 31 schools took part in our Reindeer Run - dashing, dancing and prancing along the way, raising an amazing £24,500 so far.

Christmas tree collection: In January, with the help of our dedicated volunteers we collected 563 trees through our collection scheme, which raised £7,500.

Sharon Batty, our Director of Income Generation & Marketing says: “We’d like to thank our incredible supporters for their generosity, not just during our festive fundraising campaigns but throughout the year too. It is a real testament to the community spirit that when we run these campaigns they come together to help us give our patients and their families the best possible care.”

We’d like to say thank you to everyone who supports us however you can. It’s thanks to you that we can continue to be here in the community.
