CELEBRATE WITH A DIFFERENCE

One year older and another year passed, are you fed up with the same old birthdays, receiving the same presents each year?  Maybe you’re getting married but have more than enough vases and toasters already.

Pendleside Hospice can help with their Celebration Giving campaign. This involves asking for donations to Pendleside in lieu of gifts and stopping those torturing presents of more deodorants, novelty socks and shower gel sets from your much loved relatives.

Birthdays, Weddings, Anniversaries, Retirements and any other celebration can all support Pendleside. Fundraising staff  will help with invitations, posters, donation envelopes and collection buckets to assist with your celebration and make it as easy as possible.

Last year alone Pendleside Hospice raised £23,350, including gift aid, in donations in lieu of gifts and has now become a large part of their fundraising.  This year the annual running costs exceeds £2.85 million with 30% contribution from the NHS leaving over £2 million each year to be raised though donations and fundraising events.

If you would like to support Pendleside Hospice with your celebration or would like an information pack please contact Clare Richards in fundraising on 01282 440120 or clare.richards@pendleside.org.uk

Ruby Wedding 

Ron and Jean Fairbrother celebrated their Ruby Wedding Anniversary at Burnley Cricket Club and asked friends & family for donations to Pendleside Hospice in lieu of gifts.

The couple raised £420 from their celebrations and friends and relatives enjoyed singer Jonny Solo who performed at their joyous occasion.

Jean said, “We would like to thank all our family & friends for their support and the kind donations to a much needed local Hospice.”

The money raised will help the hospice provide care to local people suffering from cancer and other life limiting illnesses.  The cost of providing care increases year on year in response to demand for services. 

 Thank you Ron & Jean for your selfless giving from everyone at Pendleside
