Creating a Lasting Legacy
Creating a Lasting Legacy
It costs more than £10 million to deliver the care we provide locally each year and there is a growing need for our services. Care is offered free of charge at our hospice centres in Whittington and Sutton Coldfield, as well as in patients’ own homes across the region. Whilst we receive some funding from the Government, we rely heavily on donations and income generation from the local community.
It is quite usual for people to donate money to a chosen charity rather than order flowers for a funeral that are often left at the crematorium. So if your loved one has requested that donations be made to St Giles Hospice at their funeral, or if you feel that this is something you would like to do, then we can help. Funeral donations are a simple and effective way to support St Giles Hospice whilst remembering and celebrating the life of your loved one. Your funeral director will usually arrange this or we can help you if you contact us on 01543 42538.
We also provide a wide range of services that support our fundraising here at St Giles
• Donating goods to one of our shops • Furniture collection and property clearance • St Giles Lottery and raffles • Memory Tree • Celebrate Live Lived (annual event) • Light up a Life (annual event) • Solstice Walks (annual event) • Bridal Boutique • Leave a gift in your Will
There are many fundraising events throughout the year that are organised by St Giles Hospice, such as walking, trekking and cycling or you may want to organise an event of your own and donate the funds raised to St Giles. We will be only too happy to help you in all aspect of this alongside our organised events. Give our Fundraising Team a call on 01543 432538 or email us on fundraising@stgileshospice.com.
