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 sales generate ten of thousands of pounds in funds 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 during April for all the family.
During the Coronavirus crisis we have turned the hunt into a virtual event that everyone can take part in.
Festival of Trees
This exciting project gives you the chance to sponsor your own unique Christmas tree and display it to the public.

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.
