Fundraising

In return for your charity place we ask you to fundraise a minimum amount of £2500 to help us care for local families. You can download our fundraising pack and sponsorship form to get you started. Make sure to email challenges@willen-hospice.org.uk and we’ll give you a Willen Hospice t-shirt to train and run in on the big day.
