Specialists in palliative care

Charity Challenge

St John’s Hospice is excited to invite the business community and groups to become part of our supporter family through our new Charity Challenge.

Here at St John’s, we are your local hospice providing palliative care and support for patients and their families throughout the South Lakes, North Lancashire and parts of North Yorkshire. We are proud to say that our patients will never be charged for the services we provide; however, this does not mean that the services are without cost. We must raise around £10,000 a day to make sure that we can continue to care for patients and families when they need us the most.

On the 1st of May St John’s will be launching our 50-50-500 Charity Challenge where we are asking 50 local businesses or groups, over 50 days to raise a minimum of £500 each to support their hospice.

Where will the Charity Challenge take your business?

This challenge is designed to not only raise vital funds for St John’s Hospice but to provide a great opportunities for team building, testing out new ideas and engaging in Corporate Social Responsibility with a vital local charity. It could also help you stand out from the crowd when recruiting!

It’s up to you and your team to come up with ingenious ways to raise funds and showcase your business acumen through fundraising activities. But you won’t be on your own – throughout the Charity Challenge you’ll be supported by your own personal St John’s fundraising team member.

“Lancaster & District Chamber of Commerce is here to Connect, Support and Represent its members in North Lancashire and a great way to connect with other businesses is via the St Johns Hospice Charity Challenge. 50 Businesses working together over 50 days to raise £500, for this amazing local charity. The Chamber is right behind this campaign and look forward to supporting the efforts of those businesses involved and catching up at the launch event and awards ceremony. “
