Fundraising

The Hospice currently costs over £3.5 million per year to run. A grant from the local
Primary Care Trust provides approximately 25% of running costs but the balance,
over £2.5 million, is raised locally.

Some of the main sources of income are:

Hospice Events

Several events are organised each year at Pendleside. 
These include a Car Raffle, Light Up A Life and the Midnight Walk, which together raised over £320,000 in 2011.

Fundraising Groups

We have a number of groups that raise money in their own communities. 
Over £40,000 is raised each year from various events including coffee mornings, collections and concerts.

Merchandise

We also raise money through the sale of carefully selected merchandise such as pens, trolley token key rings, Christmas cards and calendars.

Hospice Shops

We have seven shops located throughout the area, staffed entirely by volunteers.  The nett amount raised each year from the sale of donated goods now exceeds £289,000.

In Memoriam Gifts 

Often given in lieu of flowers these are an important source of funds for the Hospice.
It is a nice way to remember loved ones once they’re gone and also support Pendleside.
