Give a gift to St Catherine’s Hospice by fundraising for us!

Christmas is just around the corner, and we hope yule make merry and have fun with some of our festive fundraising ideas.

With lots of ways to support our hospice, find something that’s good for you, take on your own challenge and get fundraising….with bells on!

The fundraising team at St Catherine’s would love to hear about your seasonal fundraising activity and we’ll do everything we can to help you reach your goal. Please tell us about your fundraising so we can support you.

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!

Festive Nibbles

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.

Get Sparkling

Spread the Christmas cheer by hosting a prosecco party or festive afternoon tea by donation.
