Giving Day 2025
You’re invited to be part of our easiest, most simple fundraising campaign ever.
From Wednesday 17th – Thursday 18th December, a 33 hour online Giving Day aims to raise £300,000 to fund our Bereavement and Social Work Services for one whole year. On the day, all donations made will be doubled, thanks to a match funding pot, which is unlocked every time a donation is made.
Will you be a Giving Day Champion?
Demand for our Bereavement and Social Work Services are increasing, while costs to deliver them continue to rise. More and more local people need our support, both before, during and after the death of a loved one. The difference this campaign will make to our patients and their families is huge.
Although offered to people free of charge, you might not be aware that our bereavement and social work services currently receive no statutory funding.
Together, they cost £300,000 each year and all of this money must be raised through charitable giving, to allow them continue.
Our 2025 Giving Day aims to harness the kindness and generosity of our supporter community, bringing us all together for 33 hours of fundraising. Together, we can make a difference.

We need as many people as possible to sign up to be ‘Giving Day Champions’
Your role is simple, just share your fundraising page and ask others to donate. Together, we can reach more people, raise awareness, and hit our £300k target in just 33 hours! Are you in?
❌ You don’t need to plan or organise anything. We’ll create your fundraising page, which will go live with all our Champions on Giving Day. For 33 hours, simply share your page with friends and family, asking them to consider making a donation towards our cause
✅ Right now, we just need a tiny bit of your time. (And we mean tiny – less than it takes to make a cup of tea in fact!)
All you need to do today is complete your personal details on our 2-minute form below. Once that’s done, sit back and relax.
We’ll be in touch in December to share a link to your personal, ready-to-go donation page.
What happens on Giving Day?
• GO LIVE!: On Wednesday 17th December, the Giving Day campaign goes live from 8am for 33 hours only, ending at 5pm on Thursday 18th. It’s a race against time to hit our fundraising target. This is when your page – and that of all of our other Champions – goes live on our Giving Day webpage.
• SHARE: On the day, you’ll share your donation page and reach out to your friends, family and colleagues, asking for donations (don’t worry, we’ll send simple instructions and messages to share exactly when you need them).
• CELEBRATE: You’ll see your total rising on your personal donation page – and the excitement will build as you see the time ticking away and the overall fund pot rising too!
Doubling Donations
• Here’s the best bit – all your donations will be doubled* thanks to a £150k pledge made in advance, to our bereavement and social work services
• However, these pledged funds will only be released to double donations raised on Giving Day by YOU (and the rest of our team of Champions).
• Here’s how it works: Every £1 you raise will unlock £1 from our pledge-pot – the more donations you raise on your page, the more funds you’ll unlock!
Giving Day is an exciting 33 hour race against time for our Champions to raise £150k. Together, you’ll aim to unlock every single pound of the 150k pledge–pot, doubling your donations to hit £300k in a day!
Of course, double the donations means double the impact for our patients and families. So, there’s never been a better day or easier way to support us. Become a Champion today and help make our Giving Day a huge success for our hospice and community.
Together, we can fund one whole year of bereavement and social work support, for those who need it.
