Our Annual Fundraisers
Easter Chick Knit
Get involved all year round in our Knitted Chick Appeal
Knitters and chocoholics unite in our biggest annual Easter appeal. Thousands of knitted chicks filled with a single chocolate egg are distributed to schools and businesses across the North West prior to the Easter break. Their sale generated £72k for the hospice, and there are lots of ways that you can help.
How can I get involved?
Chick Hunt
The Francis House Great Didsbury Easter Chick Hunt is kindly supported by businesses local to our hospice in Didsbury and is a fun month-long activity for all the family.
In the run up to and during Easter you can hunt for our giant knitted chicks by following a map and exploring the shops and streets of East and West Didsbury.
Golf Days
You can support Francis House through organising a Golf Day. We can support you with your planning and provide advice on how to raise money.

The expert care and support we provide is very costly and our annual running costs exceed £4 million. We receive little support from the government and rely heavily on our supporters to help us to fundraise.
If you would like to borrow some Francis House collection materials for a fundraising event, we will be happy to assist.
