You can make a huge difference and we quite simply couldn’t survive without your support.
Without people like you playing our lottery, getting stuck into our challenges, and hosting your own fundraising events, we simply could not continue to provide support and care to people and their families when they need us most.
We can’t wait to hear about your fundraising activities and plans. Do get in touch to share them with us, so that we can support you in reaching your goals

Generally speaking you do not need this. However, there are times where you will.
You must contact your sponsors. Some people may be happy to still donate the money, but you must give them the option
For further guidance, please contact our fundraising team on 01582 492339 or email us at letmehelp@keech.org
You must make sure no-one is fundraising in an unsafe environment. Check your venue is safe and minimise any potential risks. Don’t forget about crowd control
Check you have the right insurance cover, as Keech Hospice cannot accept any liability for your event. For further advice, talk to the owners of the venue, an insurance broker or contact our fundraising team anytime (Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm)
Consider first-aid requirements for your event. Your local branch of St John Ambulance or Red Cross can offer advice and assistance
Only collect sponsorship or donations from people you know and trust. Ensure children do not collect money or sponsorship without adult supervision
Be extra careful if you’re carrying money around. Make sure you’re always accompanied and pay money into Keech Hospice as soon as possible
Raffles are a great way to fundraise!
You can add a raffle to lots of fundraising events to boost donations. Be sure that you’re keeping it legal, though – there are rules and guidelines to follow when holding a raffle or lottery at a fundraising event
Check out the Gambling Commission’s advice to make sure you’re keeping in line with the rules
Timing – Before fixing a date, check it doesn’t clash with something like the World Cup Final or another Keech Hospice organised event
Supporters – Who can you get involved? It’s great to fundraise with your friends, family and work colleagues. Maybe your local pub, school, faith group or community group would be willing to help, too
Cost – Think about what you might end up spending. Do you need to hire a venue, print posters or tickets, or purchase any licences and insurance policies? If so, will your ticket price or suggested donation cover these? Set a budget and try to borrow items rather than buy everything
Contingencies – If something was to go wrong, what could you do? You may need a back-up plan in the event of bad weather, parking problems or equipment failures
