By donating goods or services to our hospices, companies are able to contribute in a way that is entirely relevant to their business. Many companies also find it more cost-effective to offer this type of ‘in-kind’ support rather than make a cash donation.
Gifts of this nature provide the hospice with invaluable equipment, technology and day-to-day goods that are necessary to run all our services, as well as prizes for us to use in fundraising raffles or auctions.
Some companies also offer their services free of charge to the hospices, for instance by running training courses for our staff or providing contractual legal advice. All of this reduces our overhead costs and allows us to spend more on what is important – taking care of our patients and their families.
Employees are able to get involved in donating goods by having a clear out for our charity shops. We have shops across Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire that sell a wide range of goods from CDs and toys to clothing and bric-a-brac. Our shops make an important contribution to our annual income and so good quality goods are always welcome.
