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)
People power

Earn scheme.
