At the start of the challenge you'll be given £50 which has kindly been donated by local solicitors Birkett Long. You'll then have 50 days to turn your £50 into something big, with all proceeds going towards providing vital services and support to local people facing incurable illness and bereavement across north east Essex. Whether you choose to hold a quiz night, a bake sale, or something totally unique, the choice is yours. Sign up today and make a difference in our community!
We've seen teams use their entrepreneurial skills to bring all sorts of exciting and innovative ideas to life and we can't wait to see what you come up with in 2024!
You can enter your business or group as one whole team or spark some healthy competition and register multiple teams. If this sounds like the perfect way for your business, organisation or community group to support your local hospice while engaging your team in some fun activities then get yourselves signed up!

Read stories DonateWhen you make a donation to St Helena Hospice, we are charged transactional fees by other companies, including fees for processing payments made to us, looking up addresses and validating bank account details.
We are very grateful to our donors who offer to offset some of these fees with a minor addition to their total amount. This is however completely optional and we are very grateful for your support whether or not you choose to contribute to processing fees.
CloseWe are able to claim an extra 25p on every £1 on your donation amount for no extra cost to you, as long as you are a UK tax payer; have paid enough income tax or capital gains tax in that tax year; and are donating your own money. If you pay less income tax and/or capital gains tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all of your donations in that tax year it is your responsibility to pay any difference.
