Get active and support your local community
The pandemic has meant many of our fundraising events and activities can’t go ahead this year, so we’re facing a severe shortfall in our funding. But you can help ensure that we are able to continue our vital work.
Jump higher, run further or take on a daily challenge… 50 push ups a day anyone?
This could be your chance to get fit and raise vital funds for your local hospice; decide on an activity, set up a Just Giving page, tell your friends and get physical!
Gordon set himself a unique challenge: complete 1,000 press-ups in time for his 72nd birthday and raise £1,000 for our hospice.
Gordon smashed this target, completing 1,576 press-ups and raised over £2,000.
Being over 70 I had to stay at home [during lockdown]. I chose press-ups as I could do them whatever the weather and the challenge gave me a structure to my day. Some days were harder than others, especially if I’d been doing lots of gardening or an online exercise class! I am so pleased to have been able to help St Catherine’s Hospice raise much-needed funds during the lockdown.
Results take minutes, can be printed or downloaded in a format that suits you, and allows you to easily create a poster or leaflet for your very own St. Catherine’s fundraiser!

For other fundraising ideas on how to get physical to support us, check out our “Step Up” campaign.
Participants were asked to jog, run or climb a distance or height that suited them; from climbing the equivalent of Big Ben up their stairs at home, to walking the equivalent of Crawley to Paris in their back garden.
Get physical, take on a challenge and help us provide the best end of life care for people in your community.
