Organise Your Own Event Or Activity

Why not organise your own event or activity to raise vital funds for the hospice?

This might involve a sponsored activity or organising a fundraising event. Fundraising of this type could be something that you organise with family, at work, school or as part of a group you belong to. You might already have something in mind, or why not consider some of our ideas?

Sponsored Events

The range of sponsored activities available are as wide as your imagination, but might include:

• Body waxing
• Car wash
• Cycling
• Dance-a-thon
• Dart-a-thon
• Head Shave
• Hopping
• Parachute Jump
• Ploughing match
• Quitting smoking
• Running
• Silence
• Singing
• Sitting in a bath of beans/custard- use your imagination!
• Skipping
• Spinning
• Swimming
• Trek
• Tug of war
• Walking
• Weight Loss

Remember To Gift Aid It!

Gift aid can significantly increase the value of your sponsorship money at no extra cost to those sponsoring you.

Just Giving helps you to raise sponsorship money easily by emailing colleagues and family with a simple web link and stops the problems of chasing up money after the event. Matched giving can significantly increase your sponsorship money, ask your company to match whatever your work colleagues raise. For more information download our fundraising pack or contact us.

Why not try something different and invite friends to donate money to Katharine House instead of purchasing presents for special occasions such as birthdays or anniversaries? We can produce personalised envelopes to make this hassle free for you.

Alternatively why not join in with one of our events?

If you are running an event then you should consider Licence Considerations and Matters of Safety and Risk.
