Get The Ball Rolling

Kick, hit, bounce, roll or throw the ball for your local hospice!

If you’re part of a sporting group or enjoy a challenge, this is the perfect way to fundraise.

Take on a challenge or tournament

With so many sports to participate in, why not take on your own challenge and raise funds to help us provide vital care to patients and families?

From taking on your own team tournament, setting your own personal challenge or to getting together with friends and family to watch or participate in a day of sport, there is something for everyone.

Roll on with some ideas…

Beat the goalie

Find someone that you want to challenge and make them go in goal. Then charge people per shot and offer prizes for people who score three or five penalties in a row, depending on the quality of the goalkeeper.

Make it last for a few hours, so you raise lots of money! You could change the person in the goal so everyone has a chance to take on the challenge. Consider offering prizes for the best penalties, the best celebrations, the best outfit, and so on.

Competition

There are lots of ways to host a competition for your sport.

You can tailor it to your sport or activity, for example for tennis consider round-robin tennis matches with singles or doubles teams, or knockout competitions if you can get enough people, charging all participants for the entrance fee.

Viewing party

An easy one and great one to get people together!

Team up with your local pub, clubhouse, or community centre and charge a small fee for people to watch a special sporting occasion.

Then add loads of fundraising challenges on top. Consider competitions, pub games, and other similarly playful options that can raise funds.
