In spite of annual running costs in excess of £3m, patients and their relatives can be assured of having access to all our amenities completely free of charge. Future support is crucial to enable Wakefield Hospice to provide vital and invaluable specialist services to those in our community facing a terminal illness.
Fundraising and trading activities as well as voluntary donations from individuals and business, are heavily relied upon to maintain the Hospices existence.
There are so many ways you can help - here are 10 of our suggestions:
1. MAKE A DONATION
2. REGISTER FOR GIFT AID
3. JOIN OUR RECYCLING SCHEME
4. ORGANISE YOUR OWN EVENT
5. VOLUNTEER & HELP AT EVENTS
6. REMEMBER WAKEFIELD HOSPICE IN YOUR WILL
7. ATTEND AN EVENT
8. JOIN AN EXISTING OR CREATE YOUR OWN FUNDRAISING GROUP
9. NOMINATE US AS YOUR CHARITY OF THE YEAR
10. eBay FOR CHARITY
There are also a number of 'everyday fundraising' methods that you can help raise funds for Wakefield Hospice via your normal routine and without spending any additional money. These include:
Change your internet homepage to Everyclick.com. Then sign up as a fundraiser (it costs you nothing!!) - simply visit the website, click on ‘Using Everyclick’, click on ‘Sign Up’ & enter your details
You will receive a confirmation email – confirm your registration using the link.
Then just help us spread the word - add the Everyclick to your email signature, send all your family and friends and others not on the ‘all staff’ email network an invite to join, post a widget on your facebook page!
So every time you ‘surf the web’ you could be helping raise extra funds for our charity.Every-click, every search can raise £0.01 – think how many times you surf and search, multiply this by the number of people you know and how often they use the internet and we’ll soon be bringing in the pounds!! To give a perspective, for every 30 clicks, this could cover the cost of a minute of care for our patients.
Of course, these ideas are not exhaustive. You may have thought of some other ideas, which we’d be more than happy to discuss with you. Please call the fundraising office for more information:
