Fundraise for the Priscilla Bacon Hospice Charity

Your support is vital in helping us to enhance the care for those with life-limiting and terminal illnesses. Priscilla Bacon Lodge offers high-quality palliative care from Norfolk Community Health and Care NHS Trust to patients and their families.

The Priscilla Bacon Hospice Charity fundraises to provide extra services which do not fall under the NHS remit. These include private chefs, taxis, comfort items, music and art sessions, complementary therapy, and more. By fundraising for us, you can make a significant difference in ensuring that we continue to deliver these essential services.

How you can get involved

There are many ways you can support us through fundraising:

  • Host an Event: Organise an event in your community. From bake sales and coffee mornings to sponsored walks and charity auctions, every event helps us reach our fundraising goals.
  • Take on a Challenge: Push your limits by participating in a sponsored run, cycle, or other physical challenge. Take a look at our Events Calendar to see events we are running that you can join in with. Such activities are a great way to raise funds while staying active.
  • Corporate Support: Engage your workplace in fundraising activities, or consider joining our 500 Business Club. We offer tailored opportunities that can benefit both your business and our charity.
  • Community Groups and Schools: Get your local group or school involved in fundraising. Organising events and activities can inspire teamwork and community spirit whilst supporting a great cause.

Online fundraising

One of the easiest and most effective ways to raise funds is online. Whatever you’re planning – swimming the Channel, walking the Great Wall of China, organising a birthday bash, or raising money in someone’s memory – setting up an online fundraising page provides an easy and safe way to collect donations or sponsorship.

We work with JustGiving and the money you raise is passed on to us without the need for any further input from you. Set up a fundraising page to benefit the Priscilla Bacon Hospice Charity by clicking the button below, and don’t forget to check out their Top 10 Fundraising Tips.

Collection tins

A really easy way to make a difference! The average full collection tin holds approximately £40.00 in change and we have raised over £28,500 so far in tins placed around Norfolk. If you’d like to hold one at your workplace or event, you can request one by emailing fundraising@priscillabaconhospice.org.uk.
