There are hundreds of ways to support your local hospice and whether you have your own idea already or need a little inspiration, we’d love to hear from you.
It might be a bike ride, a coastal walk or trek, an organised run you are taking part in or even a car rally, nothing is too big or crazy!
The Challenge Fundraising Team can’t wait to help you through your fundraising journey. Please complete the short contact form below and we’ll be in touch to help get you started.
Grace and Zelah are on hand throughout to support you with your fundraising every step of the way!
Grace started working for the hospice in May 2019 and has worked for a range of charities in events and fundraising roles. She says “getting to know our challenge and event fundraisers is one of the best parts of my job, they inspire me every day with their incredible spirit and drive to help their local hospice, truly making a difference”. Grace likes to travel as much as she can, as well as enjoying spending time at festivals and out in the countryside.
