If your backyard BBQ’s are famous on the street or you have plans for a brilliant birthday blow out, why not do it for us?
My name is Clare, and I look after all of you lovely lot who want to do something wonderful for The Wisdom Hospice.
By throwing your own event, you get to decide what you want to do. If it’s getting your whole football team to play a blindfolded charity match or a Pizza Party with your pals. There are so many things you could do to raise money for us that are more fun than just bathing in baked beans – Unless that’s your kinda thing, in which case we’re on board.
If you have an idea, or even if you’re already halfway through, get in touch. There is so much we can do to help support you in your plans to ensure your fundraising goes off without a hitch! Pop in a see me for a cup of tea or call for a friendly chat to talk through your idea, there are no bad ones!
Hayley Stock who throw a Paper day for us in her own back garden!
“I decided to organise a small garden pamper in my garden. This is a charity very close to my heart as this is where my Gran was treated and sadly passed away. We planned the event for 3 hours but soon realised we needed to extend it, as we sold out before the day itself. We had 12 stall holders including other therapists, psychic reader, food selections and stall holders. We raised a fantastic £510 from the raffle, refreshments, stall fees and I also donated over 50% of my takings from the day. My work also matched £500 equalling over £1,000.00 raised. We were so pleased as it was a fantastic amount from just a small event organised in only a month. The day couldn’t have gone any better, the weather was perfect, and everyone had a fantastic day”.
