Sponsored Activities

If organising an event isn’t really your thing, why not do something adventurous, daring or just plain daft for charity!

From sponsored head shaves, week long bike rides and walking across hot coals - our supporters know no limits when it comes to raising funds!

Whatever you decide to do for the hospice, we can provide you with sponsorship forms, advice for getting your online sponsorship and text donations up and running, along with plenty of help promoting your chosen activity.

Have a look at what some of our supporters are up to at the moment. Feel free to leave messages of encouragement on their Justgiving pages too!
