Hospice Daredevils

Go on a sponsored walk, swim, run a marathon, climb the Three Peaks, lose weight, sponsored head shave or give up smoking. You can get your friends, family and work colleagues to sponsor you to do something that you have always wanted to do! We will be more than happy to provide you with bespoke sponsor forms.

Coffee Morning

Invite your family and friends round for a coffee and cake and ask them for a donation – you could always gift aid your donations to boost your fundraising.

BBQ/Garden Party

Invite your family and friends to a charity BBQ/garden party where they fetch their own drink and contribute some food to a Jacob’s join. Charge an entrance fee; hold a raffle and various competitions.

Pub Crawl

For the over 18 years only!!! Think of a pub crawl route and ask the appropriate landlords for their permission (prior to the event) to collect donations. We are able to provide Rossendale Hospice T-shirts, collection buckets and stickers.

Club Socials

Ask your local landlord if you are able to organise a charity quiz or perhaps a darts, domino or pool competition or even a race day/night?

Dress Down/Non Uniform Day

Everyone makes a donation to wear their own choice of clothes at work or school or set a fancy dress theme.

Team Events

Any kind of inter-house group event is great for team building and builds a sense of healthy competition. Add in a sponsorship element and suddenly you have a great fundraise on your hands.

50/50 club

Ask all your family and friends for a donation of £1. Put all their names in a hat and the winner drawn gets half the money, you get the other half for your fundraising.

Raffles & Auctions

Raffle off donated goods or services from friends and family or local buisness, or if it's one really great prize, why not auction it off to the highest bidder?

Visit our Just Giving page and follow the on screen instructions — it is really simple and only takes a few minutes.
Send an e-mail link to all your family, friends and work colleagues — no matter where they live they can sponsor you online. Just Giving forward any monies directly to us, saving you time.

Need help? Just call our fundraising team.

 
 

Social networking sites (e.g. Facebook and Twitter)
Inform your friends and family of how much money you need to raise, how your Social networking sites (e.g. Facebook and Twitter) training is progressing and let them know of any fundraising events you are arranging.

Local media

Contact your local media to promote your event especially if it's a community minded one:

• Rossendale Free Press on 0161 211 2251
• Lancashire Evening Telegraph on 01254 678678
• Radio Lancashire 01254 262411
• Rossendale Radio 07400 57 1047 

If you are holding a larger fundraising event we will advertise your event on a number of free websites throughout the local area.

Take digital photographs on the day — often local press will feature an article after an event if they are supplied with a good photograph and some information answering the questions How, Where, When, What and Why?
If you've set up something like a sponsorship page, you might still get some sponsors after the fact if they see photographs of the day.

We would also like to feature your fundraising on our website, Newsletters and our Social Media sites.

We would recommend Just Giving as the best platform to host your fundraiser on.
This way, your sponsors can donate directly to your event and Just Giving will make the payment to us at the end.
It's easy for you, easy for us and easy to adjust your target if you get inundated with donations!

Either you can bank it and do a bank transfer to us, send us a cheque or make a payment with your bank card over the phone.

Alternatively, you can bring your cash in to us here at the Hospice directly. We do have a limit on the amount of cash we can accept in one go so if you have done REALLY well, maybe give us a call first.
