There are many ways that companies can give back to support Francis House. You’ll be amazed at how your fundraising mounts up.
Charity of the Year
Partner with Francis House as your chosen Charity of the Year and our fundraising team will work with you to generate exciting and motivating fundraising ideas that work for you and your employees. They will always be on hand to help with your fundraising efforts.
“At The Cardinal Partnership, supporting Francis House Children’s Hospice is something we feel deeply passionate about. This year, our colleagues came together to raise £470 through a Wicked-themed Christmas tree raffle and £609 through the Cheshire Three Peaks challenge, while also supporting the hospice by providing raffle prizes for their summer fair and purchasing several hundred of their knitted Easter chicks and bunnies for our team. We were especially proud to make a £5,000 donation to help fund a short break holiday for children this year attending respite at Francis House. Seeing first-hand the compassion, care and life-changing impact Francis House has on children and families reminds us why every pound raised truly matters.”

Sponsorship
We are always on the lookout for corporate support through sponsorship of our range of events. Whether it’s our drinks package, table sales, sandwiches for participants or sponsor a hole at a golf day. Sponsorship highlights your support and helps cover costs so more funds go directly to Francis House!
Employee Volunteering
Employees can also use their allocated volunteer time to support our fundraising team. A team from Barclays, Manchester, used their volunteer hours to stuff and pack chicks for our Knitted Easter Chick appeal.
- Other volunteering opportunities include:-
- Bucket collections
- Flyering in the local area for events
- Helping at our events
- Cheering squad/marshalls for walk event (better for potential local walk)
Why not use one of your volunteering days to organise a mid week fundraiser or challenge event.
