There are a number of ways you can help:
Organise your own event
One way is by organising an event to raise funds for St. Rocco’s. Events organised in the past include coffee mornings, store collections, dinner dances, fashion shows, open garden days, car boot sales, store collections, and even fire walks!
The Fundraising Team can offer support by giving advice and helping with publicity. The team also builds relationships with the local community by attending events, giving talks and organising cheque presentations.
Become part of a St. Rocco's Group
We have a number of support groups who raise money throughout the year with a variety of events including quizzes, stalls, and auctions as well as helping to organise our annual collections around Warrington. We need to expand this support network and our team would be delighted to help you and a group of friends, family or work colleagues form a new support group and assist you with ideas for events. For more information, please contact our Community Fundraiser malcolmkindon@stroccos.org.uk
Collecting Tins and Merchandise
Would you like to help raise money for St. Rocco’s by selling beanies, key rings and small novelties in your place of work? Could you have one of our collecting tins on your counter, desk or office? In 2007-2008, collecting tins and merchandise raised over £50,000 for St. Rocco’s Hospice. If you can help, please telephone Malcolm Kindon on 01925 575780 for more information.
Community talks
We can bring St. Rocco’s Hospice to your community group or place of work through our series of community talks. Our team can come and talk about the work of the Hospice, volunteering opportunities and how you can get involved. Please telephone 01925 575780 for more information.
Schools and Colleges
The support that St. Rocco’s Hospice receives from the local community is overwhelming and we would like to build on that by forming a long term partnership with your school or college. So, whether you are a teacher or a student, please read on, there are so many ways you can get involved
Let us challenge your perception of what a hospice is by allowing us to visit your school during a lesson or assembly or come and visit St. Rocco’s and see for yourself what it's like.
