Organise your own event

Organising your own event is great fun and the fundraising team are here to guide you along the way.

Whether you cycle from London to Paris, organise a quiz, embark upon a sponsored walk or sing, every penny you raise will make a big difference to the work that Wigan and Leigh Hospice do.

There are many great opportunities to fundraise. You could consider organising an event for your friends, family or colleagues or fundraise with a group or society that you are involved with.

Our fundraising team will support you in whatever way they can, whether you want to discuss ideas, need help to get going, or if you have questions they are here to help. Contact the Fundraising Team on 01942 525566 or email: fundraising@wlh.org.uk

Our guides to raising money online and paying in money may be helpful.

 

Giving In Celebration! If you are looking for an alternative present in lieu of a birthday, wedding or anniversary, why not ask your family and friends to mark your special occasion with a gift to the hospice?
