Organise a bake sale or dinner party
Are you a keen baker or have a passion for hosting dinner parties?

Simply invite them over and ask them to leave a suggested donation on the day.
Are you part of a school, club, association, group, society, union or membership organisation? We would love to work with you and can help you in giving something back to your local hospice and community. You could host a quiz night, a Christmas jumper or non-uniform day.
Members of our Fundraising team can also visit your group to give an informative and age-appropriate session to raise awareness of hospice care and all the wonderful things we are doing to support people in the local community.
