Tell us about your fundraising
We really need your support. Since 2020, Coronavirus has hit our fundraising hard and we’ve had a significant drop in income as a result. We can only provide care for local people and their families because of wonderful supporters like you who raise money in so many amazing ways.
Create your own, or take your pick from some of our festive ‘Do Your Own Fundraising’ ideas below. We know you’ll sleigh it!
Make, bake and sell Christmas cakes and seasonal scrummies, or have a gingerbread decorating competition.
At school or at work, collect a donation from everyone looking festive on your designated Christmas Jumper Day.
Spread the Christmas cheer by hosting a prosecco party or festive afternoon tea by donation.
Take on a reindeer run or walk the distance to the north pole in your back garden.
Decorate your house & garden with Christmas lights, a winter scene or giant snowman and have a collection.
