Why Choose Lakelands
At Lakelands Hospice we are committed to being here, and ready to care for local people living with cancer, heart failure and other life limiting illnesses.
When fundraising for Lakelands the money you raise will be contributing towards the £525,000 it costs to provide these vital services to those in need in our local community.
Your fundraising will help pay for these typical services listed below that we provide to our patients at no cost to themselves or their family.
£8 - A blood test
£30 - A session of Holistic Therapy such as Reiki
£40 - One hour of 1:1 Counselling Session

We want you, your friends and those attending your event to all have an enjoyable and fun time.
Please complete the form below if you are planning on holding an event in aid of Lakelands Hospice and want to inform us. We can help you with any support you may need.
Giving in Celebration
Giving a gift in celebration is a positive and unique way of celebrating a special occasion while supporting Lakelands Hospice and making a difference to other people’s lives in our community. Rather than receiving presents at your event you can ask guests to donate to the hospice instead.
JustGiving Page
Supporters often like to set up a JustGiving page to mark their special occasion and send links to friends & family requesting donations instead of birthday or anniversary gifts. Friends & Family will be able to donate securely with their debit / credit cards and leave a personal message.
Weddings
We find that wedding couples quite often have already a fully furnished home and do not require the usual wedding gift list. Setting up a JustGiving page for friends & family to donate in celebration of your big day is quick and easy. One lovely couple Carrie and Gareth did just that and raised £660.
If you are planning a wedding and wish to support our charity in some way, then please do contact the fundraising team for a chat about celebration donation envelopes and charity related favours.
