If you want to set yourself a fitness goal, achieve a lifelong ambition or mark a milestone, why not push yourself to the limit and raise vital funds for local hospice care?
If there’s a once in a lifetime experience on your bucket list or if you’ve come up with your own personal challenge, let us know and we’ll support you every step of the way.
What can I do?
In short, anything you want - as long as it's a challenge for you! We’ve had supporters take on a wide variety of challenges of their own over the years, including walking 4 miles every 4 hours over two days, doing 100 sit-ups a day for a month, and open water swimming in the cold Eastbourne sea in the middle of March!Â
Once you’ve told us about your challenge using the form below, our Fundraising Team will provide you with all the materials you need to get the most out of your fundraising. You can either collect sponsorship in person or set up a fundraising page online at Just Giving (justgiving.com) where your friends and family can donate directly to. Â
Once you’ve completed your challenge, we'll send you your very own bespoke Challenge Medal and certificate to congratulate you on your achievement and to thank you for supporting St Wilfrid’s.Â
It costs over ÂŁ18,000 a day to run the hospice, so every pound you raise will go a long way in helping to provide care to our patients, in the hospice building and out in the community. Â
