Host a Dinner Party
Bring friends together for an evening of tasty food, fun and fundraising.
Make your dinner party as simple or elaborate as you like, and invite your friends over for a home-cooked meal. Ask guests to donate what they’d spend on eating out to St Raphael’s Hospice.
If you’re feeling ambitious, why not get a gang together and create your own version of Come Dine With Me? You can all take turns to rustle up your finest dishes, then rate each other’s meals and compete for the title of ‘host with the most.
Boost fundraising at your dinner party
Think of some fun food-related activities you can challenge your guests to take part in and ask for a small extra donation.
Set up a blind tasting challenge
Ask guests to identify a selection of mystery ingredients or dishes while wearing a blindfold. Ask for a donation to enter, and offer a mystery surprise for the guest with the best taste buds.
Set up a decoration station
Set up a table with plain cupcakes or cookies and make a big batch of frosting for a decoration station. For an extra donation, your guests can unleash their creativity and compete for who has the best icing techniques or the most interesting design. Plus, they get a treat to take home with them at the end of the night.
Crafting for your local hospice
Put your creativity to good use and make, paint, stir, or sew for St Raphael’s Hospice by fundraising through homemade crafts.
Whether it’s carefully crafted Christmas, Eid or Diwali gifts, delicious kitchen creations, or hand-painted kitchenware, selling homemade items is a fantastic way to raise money.
Producing handmade crafts is a challenge in itself, but the hard work doesn’t end there. You also need to turn your crafts into donations. You can choose to sell the crafts you make, or share your crafting skills by hosting a workshop to teach others how to make your chosen craft. For either of these options, the first step is to set up an online giving page to easily collect donations.
The Great Scavenger Hunt
The Great Scavenger Hunt is a brilliant way to have some fun and support St Raphael’s Hospice.
You’re sure to have a blast, and every penny you raise will help make a huge difference.
JustGiving makes it easy to collect sponsorship money, receive donations from those taking part, and keep people up-to-date with your progress. JustGiving also automatically collects Gift Aid for any eligible donations, helping to boost your total at no extra cost. Set up your JustGiving page.
