How your business or organisation can help Weston Hospicecare

Weston Hospicecare's annual running costs are in excess of £1.7 million and therefore rely heavily on the generosity of the local community. There are lots of ways to support your local Hospice and below are some ideas.

  • Donate a gift in kind. This could be a product that you produce or sell or a service that you provide. It could be used by the hospice services or to help with fundraising.
  • Buy the Hospice calendar as a gift for your customers or staff. Alternatively select from our range of personalised Corporate Christmas Cards.
  • Give us space on your notice boards and counters to promote our appeals and campaigns. Alternatively promote events by putting them on your internet and emailing your database/staff internally.
  • Order your floral gifts using Charity Flowers - call 0990 300 600 quoting the reference "WHC".
  • Encourage team building by putting on a fundraising event or attending one of ours.
  • Run a fundraising event as part of your own product or service promotion.
  • Corporate Entertainment - next time you put on a golf day/dinner maybe you could raise funds for Weston Hospicecare at the same time.
  • Become a Toner Donor! - save all your spent ink cartridges and toner cartridges for us.
  • Sponsor our main events e.g. the Midnight Beach Walk or our Newsletter, which gets sent to over 4,000 households.
  • Internet link-up - promote your organisation on this web-site with an active link (hyperlink) to your home page.
  • Adopt us as your "Charity of the year".
  • Give a straight cash donation which could go towards the weekly running costs of a bed in the In- Patient Unit (approx £2,500) or pay for a patient's day in Day Hospice (approx £60)
