Hospiscare needs your help with a unique ‘double your money’ fundraising challenge

Devon based Hospiscare is undertaking its biggest fundraising challenge yet.

On 1–2 March 2026, it aims to raise £400,000 in just 36 hours to help keep care at home for local people with life limiting conditions.

Thanks to some incredible local people, it’s a match funding campaign. They have already pledged to match every pound donated up to £200,000. 

To make it happen, Hospiscare is now looking for 200 Champions – passionate supporters who can help spread the word and inspire others to give. 

Champions would: 

• Share the campaign on social media - to reach as many people as possible. 

• Message friends, family and colleagues via email, WhatsApp or text. 

• Have face to face chats with those friends who are not ‘on-line’.

• Share Hospiscare updates as the total climbs and excitement builds. 

Support will be provided every step of the way with: 

• Ready-to-use posts and suggested wording. 

• FAQs and helpful information. 

• Inspiring stories from local families. 

• Regular updates throughout the campaign. 

For many people, home is where they wish to be in their final days – surrounded by familiar comforts, loved ones, and even their pets. 

Hospiscare can help to make that a reality. 

One patient who really benefits is Maria, who has Motor Neurone Disease. “The care at home really is wonderful” she said. “Four months ago, the care that Hospiscare gave me saved my life. Today, I’m back at home, where I want to be, and able to spend precious time with my children and grandchildren.” 

By becoming a Keeping Care at Home Champion, you’ll help make that possible for more local families. 

Head of Public Fundraising, Sarah Smith said: “Keeping Care at Home is bold in ambition and will be fuelled by the passion and dedication of our local community.” “We are asking local people to stand by us to support vital end of life services, to provide expert compassionate care to those most in need.” “Registering to be a Keeping Care at Home champion is simple and you’ll be fully supported every step of the way to make the experience rewarding and fun.” “I’d like to also thank our match funders without whom this campaign wouldn’t be possible.”

 If you’d like to find out more, please call Sarah on 01392 688020 or email home@hospiscare.co.uk.
