Fundraise your way

Our hospice care can only exist because of the support and generosity from the community.

We don’t charge a penny for our care – and that’s only possible because of people like you. No matter how much you donate or raise, every pound truly is ‘Making every day count.’ We need to raise more than £207,000 each week to care for those who need us.

Whether you're an individual, group, business or club we are here to support you with your fundraising.

How your fundraising makes a difference.

Every pound you raise for Havens Hospices will help us continue caring for families like Evie's.

11-year-old Evie has CDKL5, a rare genetic condition. Along with her family Evie has been coming to Little Havens for respite breaks since 2016. 

Evie's Mum, Sarah, said “Coming to Little Havens is like having a comfort blanket. We feel safe, we can be ourselves and you don't have to worry.”

Together, we're 'Making every day count'.

£300 could pay for twenty sessions of counselling to relatives feeling overwhelmed by their grief
