As 2023 gets underway people may be considering a fresh challenge for the year ahead, so why not think about supporting Hope House and Tŷ Gobaith and be part of something amazing?

Do something amazing in 2023 for Hope House and Tŷ Gobaith children's hospices

From wing walking and sky diving to running, walking and cycling, baking and glamorous balls there is a wide range of events and activities already available for people to sign up for and support seriously ill local children and their families. 

Alison Marsh, Head of Fundraising, said: "We have been blown away by the support we received from our supporters throughout 2022. From our amazing events such as Eat Cake Week, our Cycle Challenge, the Llangollen Canal Walk and our three Dark Runs to our raffles and Final Moments Matter campaign, the support we have had over the last year has been nothing short of incredible. 

"However come January 1st we start again from zero and we need our wonderful community to support as they have done in the past to help us raise the money we need to make sure can be here for those that need us the most." 

The hospices currently need £7.5 million every year to maintain the level of care they provide. 

"We have lots planned for 2023 and to kick start the year we have made some brilliant events online live for people to sign up to," said Alison. 

"Whether you are a daredevil who could take to the skies and wing walk or skydive, a runner looking for their next big challenge, a baker who could raise some money Eat Cake or if you’d like to take on our incredible Llangollen Canal Walk, there really is something for everyone to take part in and bookings are now open on our website.” 

If people are not in a position to sign up for an event but would still like to support the hospices, then they could consider making a regular monthly gift donation, or sign up to play the Hope House Lottery for as little as £1 a week, and they could win prizes of up to £1,000 a week. 

Visit www.hopehouse.org.uk/events to see all fundraising events and ways to support the hospices or alternatively call the fundraising office on 01691 671671 or email fundraising@hopehouse.org.uk to ask about how you can be part of something amazing.
