We would love you to raise sponsorship money in support of St Michael’s Hospice. Asking family and friends to sponsor you can be a fun and rewarding way to shout about your challenge or event and to raise awareness of our Hospice.

With your entry fee going to the cost of running the event, it’s your sponsorship efforts that make a big difference to the patients at the Hospice and their families. On average, most people get £18.05 per donation on their pages, which means you’ll only need to ask three friends to be a gold sponsor.

Every penny we receive really makes a tangible difference to someone’s life so anything you can raise, however big or small, has a giant impact.

Prizes

  • Raise £25 and get a silver gift bag
  • Raise £50 and get a gold gift bag

We’ll have some additional festive accessories for you to buy on the day. All items are subject to stock availability.
