Become a Champion!

The biggest birthday present of all for St Michael’s in 2024 will be to raise more money so we can help even more people across Herefordshire and beyond. To do this we need to ensure we can fund and develop our dedicated care team.

Join us in celebrating 40 years of care: Help us raise £400k in 40 hours!

This year marks the 40th anniversary of our hospice’s commitment to providing compassionate care to our community. As you may have seen in the news, many hospices are facing rising costs and are being forced to cut services. However, we’re determined to continue delivering high-quality care for decades to come, and we need your help!

What we're doing

We’re launching a 40-hour crowdfunding campaign to raise £400,000, which will go towards supporting our dedicated care staff.

Our care team works 365 days a year, delivering the compassionate support that our patients and their families rely on, and they are our greatest asset.

The campaign will take place on charityextra.com, and we’re looking for supporters like you to become “Champions” for our cause. As a Champion, you can help us fundraise by reaching out to your network of family, friends, and colleagues, encouraging them to donate to the campaign.

How it works

Generous donors, known as “Matchers,” have pledged to match every donation made by the community during this campaign. This means that each donation you help raise will be doubled!

The best news is that we’ve already secured £200,000 in match funding from trusts and donors, so we’re halfway to our goal!

How you can help

We’re asking you to sign up as a Champion and help us raise much-needed funds. You’ll have your own fundraising page on charityextra.com, and we’ll provide you with a personalised link to share with your contacts via email, WhatsApp, or text. It’s easy for them to donate in just a few seconds.

Campaign Details

  • Date: 7am on Sunday, 27th October to 11pm on Monday, 28th October
  • Goal: £400k in 40 hours

We'd love to hear from you

It’s a simple process and a lot of fun!
By joining forces, we can reach our fundraising goal and continue to provide care to those who need it most. We’ll handle all the setup, so all you need to do is share your link and watch the donations roll in!

We’d love to have you join us and help make this campaign a success. Let’s work together to ensure our hospice can continue its mission of caring for our community for years to come.
