Fundraising Tips

Maximise your fundraising efforts!  Have a look at our Top Tips!

All we ask is that you try to raise as much money as possible to help us care for patients. You can maximise your fundraising efforts by having a look at our top tips.

1. Get Onboard: Register as early as possible, so you have plenty of time to gather as much sponsorship as possible!  Why not set yourself a target amount and be positive you can reach it.
2. Donate Online: Set up your own fundraising webpage with justgiving.com and collect sponsorship online. It’s easy to do and we can help you. Friends and family are only one click away from sponsoring your walk for the day. Click on the links below to set up an online fundraising page and to download instructions on setting up your page.
3. Go Gift Aid: Encourage those sponsoring you to gift aid their donation if they are a UK Taxpayer.  This means we can claim back from the Government, approximately 28 pence for every pound donated! It doesn’t cost you a penny more; just simply tick the Gift Aid box.
4. Pick and Mix:Choose from 11 walks or why not cycle for hospice at our Castle Ward location? We have introduced a new cycle route which is suitable for children and adults and is approximately 7 miles. Just bring along your bike!
5. Get Active: Walking is a great way to exercise, keep fit and raise money for your local charity. Why not upload your training pictures to our Facebook Webpage to raise your profile and increase sponsorship.
6. Every Pound Makes a Difference: Raise as much sponsorship as you can.  Why not ask your employer to match what sponsorship you raise?  This is a great way to get them on board and doubling your fundraising efforts.
7. Furry Friends: Pets are welcome on any of the Hospice walks. To help with your fundraising efforts, get people to sponsor your dog as well to raise that little bit extra for Hospice
8. Get Fancy: Why not add some more fun to your walk and wear fancy dress? Get family and friends to sponsor you a minimum donation for looking silly.  It’s great fun and will get you noticed.
9. Recruit: Ask your friends to join in too and register for the 2012 Hospice Walk.It’s great encouragement for one another.
10. Every Pound Counts: Every pound you raise will make a difference to people in need of our care. Good Luck and we look forward to seeing you at one of our walk locations
