Can’t think what to ask for this year? Would you consider asking your friends and family to donate to St Helena Hospice instead of buying you a gift so that more local people who need our support can get the help they need when, and where, they need it?  

If you’re a Facebook user, you’ll likely receive a notification asking you to create a Birthday Fundraiser a couple of weeks before your big day, in case you don’t or you’d like to start collecting earlier, you can set one up on Facebook.

Of course, if you don’t use Facebook you can still set up an online fundraising page on JustGiving or Timeless Tributes.

Alternatively why not celebrate turning one year older by making your own donation?

£150 could pay for homecooked meals for all of the patients staying at the hospice for one day - fish and chips is a particular favourite!

£500 could pay to run our SinglePoint office for a day, to provide advice and support over the phone 24/7.

From baby showers to engagement parties, anniversaries to your retirement, ask your guests to give the gift of kindness and make a donation instead of buying you a gift. What better way to help local people that are facing incurable illness and bereavement to receive the end of life care and support that they deserve.

Not sending Christmas cards? You can still spread a little festive joy by sending a donation to St Helena Hospice instead.
