Fundraise

Each year, it costs around £12 million to deliver all our care services & to run the organisation. 30% of funds are commissioned by the NHS & 70% of our funds have to be raised by us.

We rely on fundraising to help services run across St Elizabeth Hospice, Zest & St Elizabeth East Coast Hospice.

From participating in our events, creating your own fundraiser & shopping with us, you will be helping patients and families to receive free care from hospice services across our region.

Your workplace can fundraise

St Elizabeth Hospice has been building successful and meaningful partnerships with local businesses for over 30 years.

There are sponsorship opportunities & volunteering days to assist in our shops and in the lead up to our major events, such as Midnight Walk.

We also run corporate events including our Charity Jailbreak & RideFest.

Thank you to everybody who has helped me with my fundraising. I am so pleased to be able to support St Elizabeth Hospice, as it is a cause very close to my heart.

I hope this money helps the hospice support other people, just like the hospice looked after my Mummy.
