How you can help us
Make us your Charity of the year
Are you bombarded with requests to support different charities throughout the year? Do you find it difficult to know which one to choose?
How about adopting St Catherine’s Hospice as your Charity of the Year?
St Catherine’s has an excellent reputation within the local community for providing essential care to people with life limiting illnesses. Furthermore we are probably one of the best charitable investments around because through our wonderful volunteers, clever use of gift aid and ability to compete for and win other funds we can turn each £1 donation into £9. Choosing St Catherine's as your Charity of the Year is an ideal way to focus all your staff towards one objective. When raising money for a local charity like St Catherine's you are able to see clearly where your money is going and be assured that it will make a real difference.
If you choose to adopt St Catherine’s you will be allocated a dedicated Fundraiser to help and support you, your activities and your staff.
If you would like to discuss the possibility of St Catherine’s Hospice being your Charity of the Year please contact Lynne Whittaker on 01772 324540.

There are many sponsorship opportunities available throughout the year.
St Catherine’s Hospice organise many fabulous events and you can sponsor all or part of them, putting your name to one of our events can generate both publicity and positive brand awareness for your company. You could also sponsor leaflets and even website pages!
Your appointed Fundraiser will organise and manage your sponsorship to ensure that it is a successful two way partnership in which both the Hospice and you benefit.

Jacqui De Rose, Chief Executive of Progress Housing Group, said: "As an organisation at the heart of the community, we are proud to be associated with an event (the Symphony At The Tower) that supports local people in need. St Catherine’s Hospice is committed to providing a caring and nurturing environment for local people and that is something that we too feel very close to."
