The Great St. David’s Hospice Coffee Morning Challenge - Put the kettle on and help us raise £10,000 before 27th May 2010.
Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best! It is hoped that our supporters will rally together, hold a coffee morning and raise £10,000 before 27th May 2010. All that’s needed is a church or community hall, or even your front room or garden, and a band of friends who aren’t afraid to roll up their sleeves and get stuck in. It‘s also worth bearing in mind that ‘Coffee Morning’ is very loose term and can apply to Coffee Evenings, Afternoon Tea Parties, Cheese & Wine, and Cocktail Parties, and that the Fundraising Co-ordinators at the Hospice are on hand to help with publicity, and any advice you may need. For further details or an information pack please contact Beth or Marie on 01492 879058 (office hours).
NEW YEAR NEW CHALLENGE! The sky's the limit when it comes to supporting St David's Hospice! Our popular tandem skydive gives you the opportunity to jump from a plane at 10,000ft and freefall at speeds of up to 120mph, whilst strapped to a professional instructor who will do all the hard work for you! Or, if you'd rather go solo, then the static line jumps and accelerated freefall may be the dive for you! For an information pack on how to take part in a sponsored parachute jump for St David’s Hospice please contact Beth or Marie 01492 879058 or go to www.stdavidshospice.org.uk for an online booking form.
