Fundraising at work

Get your workplace involved in making a difference! From bake sales and dress-down days to sponsored challenges, fundraising at work is a great way to bring your team together while supporting a worthy cause. Every contribution helps us provide compassionate care for those who need it most.

Life-limiting illness touches us all, including your staff and your customers. From raising money to raising awareness, corporate partnerships are vital to helping us to fund patient care in Inverclyde.

We work with all sorts of companies to help make a real difference in the lives of hundreds of people who are living in Inverclyde with life-limiting illnesses such as cancer and heart disease. There is so much that you and your company could do to help.

Whether it’s cake sales, dress-down days, volunteer days or taking on a challenge event like Tough Mudder, getting involved with Ardgowan Hospice will motivate and inspire your employees.

Whatever you decide to do, by partnering with us, we can help you:
-Connect employees across teams: relationships between employees, suppliers and customers
-Put you in contact with the right people to make your fundraising dreams a reality
-Develop your employees’ personal and professional skills
-Increase job satisfaction and boost employee retention
-Enhance your company’s brand to employees, suppliers and customers by helping you secure media coverage at your request
-Support your staff who may be affected by life-limiting illness with our range of services at no cost

Did you also know that you can support your local hospice by donating through your salary?

Payroll Giving, also known as Give As You Earn, is a simple way to make regular, tax-free donations. It’s a quick and easy way to donate to us, straight from your pay before tax is deducted. Simply ask your Payroll Department whether your company offers the scheme. If they do, you need to decide how much you would like to give each time you are paid.Every time you’re paid, your Payroll Department deducts the agreed amount and sends it to us. There’s nothing more for you to do.

If you would like to set up Payroll Giving at your workplace, we would love to talk to you. We can arrange an engaging promotion tailored to your specific needs. Contact us at fundraising@ardgowanhospice.org

Fundraising as a School, Group, College etc

Inspire the next generation to give back by organising fun and meaningful activities at school. Whether it’s a charity run, a non-uniform day, or a student talent show, fundraising at school not only supports our vital services but also teaches the importance of community spirit and care.

Whether you are looking to set up a college fundraiser, a school wanting to support Ardgowan Hospice through the YPI (Youth and Philanthropy Initiative) or a local community group such as the Guides - we want to thank and support you on your fundraising journey. We can organise for our team (including our mascot Ace!) to come by and tell you more about the services your money helps us deliver, or give you tips on the best ways to promote your idea. Please get in touch today for ideas, tips and support.

Fundraising on our behalf

Turn your special event into an opportunity to give back. Whether it’s a birthday, wedding, or community gathering, you can make it memorable by supporting our hospice. Host a raffle, set up a donation station, or dedicate the proceeds of your event to help us continue our life-changing work.

We are always blown away by the great ideas and challenges our supporters tell us they are taking on in aid of Ardgowan Hospice. Our dedicated fundraising team is on hand to help make your own fundraisers a great success, so please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions!
