With Rossendale Hospice’s new ways to fundraise there are lots of different options to choose from. Take a look below to find out what you could request in your fundraising pack.
RAFFLE TICKETS
Rossendale Hospice runs four consecutive raffles a year with the chance to win cash prizes. You can choose to raise funds for the hospice by requesting raffle tickets. This way your family and friends could benefit from supporting your fundraising. You’ve got to be in it to win it! Raffle tickets come in 5’s and you can request as many as you would like. They are £1 each. If you sold £120 raffle tickets you could help fund a night sit for a patient with life limiting illness. Please note: raffles run from Jan-Mar, Apr- Jun, July - Sep and Oct - Dec.
FUNDRAISING GAMES
This game comes with a grid and a special Rossendale Hospice Bear. The aim is to sell all the squares, each containing a name for the bear. The winning name is secured in an envelope which will be revealed at the end. It costs £2 to take part. A full grid of squares could raise £48 towards your fundraising target.
SWEEPSTAKES
This fundraising activity allows your friends and family to guess the time you will complete a run in. It comes with a grid for them to choose their guess and they pay £2 to take part. There is also incentives for taking part in this fundraising game too as they could win 20% of the total raised. A full grid of squares could raise up to £52.
SPONSOR FORMS
Ask family and friends to sponsor you the traditional way. Try getting your first sponsor to give £20 which will encourage others to support in the same way. You can also set up a just giving page to raise funds online. This is also helpful when promoting your fundraising though social media.
You don’t have to ask family and friends to help the hospice raise funds...
ONE OFF DONATION
You could decide to give a one off donation instead. Please check your registration pack for more details or contact the fundraising office for further information.
MONTHLY DONATION
Rossendale Hospice runs a Supporters Scheme which allows you to make a regular donation to the hospice. It runs for a 12 month period and you can set the monthly amount. £15 a month would help pay for a nurse for the day.
Thank you to all our supporters who have bought tickets and sold them on behalf of the Hospice for the Raffle. We have drawn the three winners, the winning tickets are:
1st Prize £500 - 0937
2nd Prize £100 - 1412
3rd Prize £50 - 1451
Well done to the winners and we will be in touch to arrange the collection of your prizes. Thank you!
Six Valley schools raised a record amount for Rossendale Hospice in an entrepreneurial challenge.
The event, jointly organised by Rossendale Hospice supported by the Hospice’s Corporate Ambassadors Group and Alder Grange School, is in its 4th year and has so far raised over £29,400. The six schools raised a combined total of £8,915 in this year’s ‘Youth Enterprise Challenge’.
The contest, launched in October last year, lasted 16 weeks and saw Year 10 teams from Alder Grange, All Saints, Fearns, Whitworth High, Haslingden High and Tor View schools, all come up with enterprising initiatives to generate as much income as possible to be donated to the hospice.
The ‘Celebration Event’ took place at Alder Grange School, where all the teams presented their results to the panel of judges. They were judged on 7 award categories; Most Profit Raised, Most Money Raised Per Pupil, Most Innovative Idea, Greatest Community Involvement, Best Presentation and Reporting, Special Recognition Award, and the Fundraisers Praise Award.

Rossendale businesses raise thousands to celebrate Hospice’s anniversary
A group of Rossendale businesses successfully raised over £5,680 for Rossendale Hospice to mark its thirtieth anniversary. This year Rossendale Hospice is celebrating 30 years of providing specialist care to patients, and their families, with life-limiting conditions. To commemorate the anniversary the hospice worked with the Rossendale Hospice Corporate Ambassadors Group and invited local companies to get involved in its inaugural Business Challenge. As well as competing for the most funds raised, the businesses were competing for five other award categories.
The Business Challenge, which launched earlier this year, was sponsored by local accountants and business advisers Cassons, part of the Baldwins Group, which has supported the charity for the past four years. The Business Challenge Awards ceremony was kindly hosted by Valley at Work as part of the Rossendale Business Awards. Firms who pledged to take part in the Business Challenge were given a £50 investment fund and 10 weeks to raise as much money as they could for the hospice, using their entrepreneurial and team building skills.
The results of the Rossendale Hospice Business Challenge were announced at the Rossendale Business Awards on Wednesday 14 November.
The winners were
• Snapper & Hack, also known as Liz Henson Photography and Catherine Smyth Media,
won the Rossendale Free Press Award which was the official Rossendale Business award for engagement in CSR
• Rossendales Ltd won the Investment Champion category for the most amount raised
• Snapper & Hack won the #RossHospice Award, sponsored by Big Tank Promotions, for their use of social media
• Chic Boutique Travel won the the Innovator Award, sponsored by Keenan’s Estate Agent because of the innovative use of travel themed fundraising events
• HD Signs won the Community Conqueror Award because of the way they used their wider contacts and networks to raise funds, including a raffle
• Ivory Beau won the Tiny but Mighty Business Award which went to sole trader Jodie Bulling who used her customers, friends and family to raise as much as she could.
Thanks again to the businesses who took park in the Business Challenge, and thanks to every person who bought raffle tickets and cakes, dressed down and attended events to raise money for the hospice.
