Local people are being urged to show their support for Willen Hospice today (Nov 28) November as part of this year’s #givingtuesday campaign.
The national initiative encourages the public to raise money for their favourite charity on a single day in any way they choose.
Willen Hospice is using the campaign to highlight how important the support of local people is. To continue to provide specialist end-of-life care to people in Milton Keynes and the surrounding areas, the Hospice needs to raise £7 every minute of the year.
Peta Wilkinson, Willen Hospice Chief Executive, said: “Willen Hospice has fantastic supporters and we are grateful for every penny they raise for us. Fundraising is vital to ensure we can offer the services we do, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
“This is a busy time of year for everyone. Giving Tuesday is a great way to focus people’s minds on doing something amazing for their chosen charity. We hope local residents will think of Willen Hospice on Tuesday and do what they can to support the care we provide to the local community”.
The Hospice has set up a JustGiving page to make donating as simple as possible. Visit https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/willen-hospice-giving-tuesday-2017 to donate now.
