Hold your own event

Organising your own fundraising event is a fun and rewarding way you can help us.

Whether it is an event for the whole community, a social occasion for your friends and family or a personal challenge such as a sponsored event, please let the fundraising team know about it!

For example, you could hold a quiz for the Hospice. We’ve created a quiz pack which includes a guide on how to hold a quiz and make it a great fundraiser, a selection of questions covering eight different rounds including sport, history and entertainment as well as answer sheets which you can print and copy for your teams. Download the quiz booklet and answer sheet below.
