Get involved

There are many ways to get involved and support your local hospice.

We rely on fundraising, shops, volunteers, donations and support from people like you to keep providing our specialist care to the community. Running the hospice costs over £10m a year and any and all contributions make a real difference to the local people and families we care for.

There are so many ways that you can get involved and help support us, take a look below for some ideas!

Fundraise for us

From sponsored walks, runs and rides to sky-dives and wing walks. Whether you want to join in with an organised challenge or dream up your own, you can fundraise for St Barnabas House.

See our list of events for some inspiration, and if you need help with your sponsorship we’re on hand to help, with everything you need to know to get fundraising.

Volunteer

Even if you only have a few hours to spare, your time can make a big difference. We have many different volunteering opportunities, including helping in our shops and warehouse, cheering at events, or visiting patients in their homes. Find volunteering opportunities.

Get your business, group or school involved

Your business, group or school can take part in any fundraiser, all while boosting company morale, raising awareness, and having fun! Take a look at our simple ideas for fundraising with your colleagues, classmates or community group.

If you’re a business, you can also choose us as your charity of the year or make use of the Payroll Giving scheme which enables you to give to charities of your choice on a tax free basis. See more about Payroll Giving on GOV.UK.

Make a donation

Our most important source of income is the support and donations we receive from individuals. Any gift to St Barnabas – whether you’re making a single or monthly donation, supporting one of our appeals, or paying for a day of care – goes a long way.

You could also give a gift in memory of a loved one, give in celebration, sponsor a nurse or leave a gift in your Will.

Ways you can donate

Make a lasting tribute to your loved ones, while supporting hundreds of people being cared for each year by the hospice.

Make your celebration extra special by raising money for your local hospice. Just set up a special celebration fundraising page and ask for donations.
