Hold a virtual pub quiz, sponsored walk or bike ride! In July 2020, Dennis and Debbie took on a challenge and ran 55 miles, raising vital funds for West Herts hospitals. Brilliant work!
Organise a dress down day or virtual sports day. Watford Grammar School for Girls ran their Fusion 2020 event in aid of West Herts hospitals. Thank you, girls!
Get together with your colleagues and dress down for the day, don your Christmas jumper or arrange a fabulous bake sale. Yum!
- What kind of event do you want to organise? (All of these events can be done virtually!)
- Go go go – it’s time to organise the event! We can give guidance if you need it
- Spread the word! Create a JustGiving page, use social media, tell everyone, and write press releases
- Then it's time to collect the money (using JustGiving means this takes care of itself)
- For money collected elsewhere, there are a few ways to get it to us - ask us for details
- After all your hard work (and fun!) you can relax after a job well done
- Take pride in knowing that you’re helping to transform patients’ lives
Need some inspiration? Here are some impressive efforts - and remember, every penny goes to Raise!
Watford FC’s Community Sports & Education Trust took part in last month’s “2.6 Challenge” and very kindly decided to split the funds raised between their own charitable work and Raise – supporting staff at West Hertfordshire hospitals through the COVID-19 crisis.
An ardent Watford FC supporter will spend this year’s Valentine’s Day on the road running the distance of a half marathon between St Albans and Hemel via Harpenden to raise money for Raise the charity for West Herts Hospitals.
Two local football clubs played a friendly match to raise money for Watford General Hospital to say thank you to the NHS working hard to keep the local community safe during the coronavirus pandemic.
Fundraising requires imagination and determination - but however much you raise, we're thankful for every penny and we will support you every step of the way!
Will you run or skydrive to raise money? Have a think of what's possible!
Ask your colleagues, family and friends for donations.
Remember to prepare and train if required! Above all, have fun!
Now you've done your fundraising activity, it's time to collect with thanks!
Your help is essential in helping us achieve our goals.
