Marks & Spencer, AylesburyThe Marks & Spencer team in Aylesbury fundraised hard for FNHC as part of its ‘Charity of the Year’ nomination. The team and their customers took part in a number of fundraising activities, from in-store raffles, tombola competitions, a bag-packing fundraiser; to a team walk from the Aylesbury High Street Charity shop to the Hospice, managing to raise an amazing £8,450 for Florence Nightingale Hospice.

The Share Centre Aylesbury-based, The Share Centre, presented £2,000 to Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity as part of a ‘Charity of the year Partnership’– money raised from staff fundraisers held throughout the year.

Employees took part in fundraising activities including casual dress ‘themed’ days, raffles, cake sales – and even a sky diving event!

Why Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity?

Support your local community by supporting Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity

Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity is a local charity that people can relate to. Many of your staff, customers, shareholders and members will experience the death of someone close to them from a life-limiting or terminal illness such as cancer, and may need the specialist care and support which Florence Nightingale Hospice offers.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) offers real credibility to your company and gains support from your customers. Working with us can improve how customers view your brand. By linking your company name with Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity, you will be associated with an organisation known for its support and funding of local Hospice services and excellence in clinical care and education.

We rely on the incredible generosity and support of our corporate partners to help keep both in-patient and at-home services running locally, which costs Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity over £650,000 each year to fund.

Your support is vital in enabling us to provide this service, free of charge. By supporting Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity you and your employees will make a real difference to the lives of those in your local community and help us plan for future services.

How we can work together

Be a Proud Sponsor. We have some amazing events from our Midnight Walk to our annual Beer Festival.

Enter a team. Get your staff involved in a range of challenges from our Colour Rush to skydives and marathons! If you run a matched giving scheme, you will really spur your employees on.

Give a donation or a gift in kind. Donate or shop with Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity Shops. If you have any end of season stock that you can no longer sell or equipment that you no longer need why not donate it to Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity shops. We sell fashion, books, furniture or can even use it at some of our fundraising events. We can arrange collections from your offices and will recognise your donations on our social media pages.

Volunteering. Why not join us and make a difference volunteering in our stores, at one of our many fundraising events or offer a few hours of professional skills. Even a few hours can make a difference and provides you with the opportunity to get out of your office and use your skills to help the local community.

Hold an event of your own. From dress down days to holding a bake off, getting behind your own event can be one of the most rewarding things to do as well as one of the most fun and is a great way of team building.

Payroll Giving. Payroll giving is an easy way to give money to Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity. By your employees donating a small amount each month from their pay cheque, they are not only helping others, but giving in a tax efficient way.

Regular Giving. Regular giving not only helps to fund the vital work that the Hospice does but also helps the Hospice to plan future care with a little more confidence.

Regular giving also enables you to make a difference in a way that fits in with your personal budget; you can increase, decrease or cancel your regular gift at any time.

Recycling. Old mobile phones, printer cartridges, jewellery, foreign coinage and stamps will all help raise funds and help the environment to.

Make us your Charity of the Year and ensure the continued funding of Hospice Care for local families in Bucks, Beds and Oxon.

Reasons to get involved:

Tax Benefits. Under the gift aid scheme businesses can obtain tax relief when they give money, whether as a one off or a regular payment.

Advertising and PR opportunities. Our marketing team will work with you to ensure that you get the exposure that you want for your commitment to fundraising for the charity. These can include press releases sent to community publications, so make sure you let us know when you are planning an event.

Facebook and Twitter are tools used by Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity to help promote upcoming events to our current supporters. We also use it to keep the community up to date on how you are supporting us.

A supportive Fundraising Team. At Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity, we have a team that will support you in your fundraising efforts. We have materials, local contacts and experience that will help make your fundraising easy and fun.

Staff Involvement, motivation and training. Fundraising and volunteering promotes team spirit amongst staff and helps individuals learn new skills and gain confidence in a friendly and supportive environment.
