St John’s Hospice relies almost entirely on the support of local people, companies and trusts to raise over £1.8 million in voluntary income each year.
We spend more than £5.7million a year on our vital services and we rely on public donations to find almost a third of that money. Whatever the size of your donation, we promise to ensure it is put to the best possible use to benefit our patients.
If you are part of a local organisation or a corporate, get in touch with Henrietta by email or call 020 7806 4093 to help you run your own fundraising project or to become involved in several of our fundraising schemes. We also welcome support from charitable trusts and foundations.
We are so incredibly grateful to everyone who donates, volunteers or runs fundraising activities on our behalf.
Your gifts of time and money really do make a difference and makes what we do to help patients and families possible.
Here are some of the great ways you can help support St John’s Hospice, and don’t forget you can donate today
Each time you are paid, a donation is deducted by your payroll department before tax is calculated. This means that you will not have to pay the Income Tax normally due to the Inland Revenue. Payroll gifts are deducted via your payslip before tax and therefore the actual cost to you is just 80p for every £1 that we receive, or if you are a higher rate tax payer, just 60p.
In addition, some employers offer ‘matched giving’ schemes where they match or double your gift at no extra cost to you – this means even more money for the charity.
Having recently commemorated 30 years of providing high quality local care, we are looking to the future to sustain and grow the fantastic services of the Hospice.
Regular gifts help St John’s plan its future care by providing income that we can count on. We spend more than £5.7million a year on our vital services and we rely on public donations to find almost a third of that money. A regular gift will go to work sooner, helping to improve care and help people with life threatening illness.
Your monthly gift of £3 or more over a 12 month period will add up to a very useful contribution to our funding needs. You can increase, decrease or cancel your regular gift at any time. What’s more, as long as you are a UK taxpayer your gift will be eligible for gift aid, which means it will be worth an extra 25 per cent to the Hospice at no extra cost to you
Whatever the size of your gift, we promise to ensure it is put to the best possible use to benefit our patients. You can donate as little as £3 a month and it still has the power to make a difference. Contact us on emma.lawson@hje.org.uk or 020 7806 4013.
Many people wish to celebrate the life of their loved ones by giving in memory. There are many different ways you can give in memory.
You can donate in the following ways:
Funeral Collections
We can also provide donation envelopes for funeral or memorial services and you can order some by emailing the team here or calling 020 7806 4011. These can also be used to celebrate special anniversaries such as birthdays. Please be sure to give the name of your loved one. Including a Gift Aid declaration will also increase your gift to St John’s Hospice by 25% with no extra cost to you.
Bereavement is one of the hardest things to face, but finding a lasting way to remember a loved one can be a great comfort. St John’s Hospice invites you to dedicate a leaf on our Giving Tree to a loved one.
The Giving Tree, designed by Bristol based artist Sam Bailey, is a 2m by 2m hand carved metalwork sculpture with branches and gold, silver and bronze leaves. The leaves are engraved with the supporter’s name or that of their loved ones.
The Giving Tree is situated along the main corridor of the Hospice making it available to patients, relatives, visitors and staff to visit anytime as a remembrance of their loved ones. The leaves will be kept on the tree depending on the level of sponsorship after which supporters will be given the option to renew or have their leaf returned to them as a keepsake.
To order a leaf or enquire, please complete our online donation form below or for more information please contact us on 020 7806 4074 or by email. We will write to you to confirm your order and we will contact you as soon as your leaf has been engraved so that you can place your leaf on the Giving Tree.
You can make your special occasion extra special by helping those that depend on St John’s Hospice.
Birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, retirements, memorials and any other special occasion can all support the Hospice. By asking your guests and friends to make donations to St John’s, you are assured that many people will benefit from your generous decisions.

What is Give as you Live?
Give as you Live is a normal shopping and price comparison website; you can shop for products from thousands of leading online retailers; use the price comparison tool to ensure you get the best price and even save money by using the exclusive offers and deals available. Except, a percentage of every purchase you make will be donated to your chosen charity.
Where does the money come from?
Give as you Live, like other price comparison websites, generate money through affiliate marketing. This means retailers pay them commission each time a sale is made through their site. They share at least 50% of this onto the charity of the supporter’s choice.
If you have any questions, contact their support team or contact Emma by email or on 020 7806 4032.
