Our Community Fundraising - Making a difference together
As we continue to see a growing demand for our Care services across North Northumberland, this year we expect our running costs to be around £1.4m to ensure we can continue to meet this demand. We will receive a small contribution from the NHS of around 5%, the rest we have to find from fundraising, donations, trusts, and our shops. Our community fundraising has become a vital source of income for HospiceCare - local people who consistently go the extra mile to support our fundraising efforts - put simply, without their support we wouldn't exist. On this page, you will find the events planned by local people and businesses in our communities who are raising funds for us - please support them if you can!

Our Community Fundraising Events 2025
Rothbury WI Calendar 2025
Tea & Cake Launch Event Thursday 24th October 2024 at 2pm
last year Rothbury WI bravely organised a skinny dip to raise funds for HospiceCare. The skinny dip was held at a secret location which raised a magnificent £4,400 in sponsorship for the Hospice and also inspired the members to continue raising funds for HospiceCare by publishing a naked calendar. The photographs have all been taken on location in the Coquet Valley providing a stunning backdrop for the calendar. So please join us at the Jubilee Hall in Rothbury (NE65 7SD) on 24th October 2024 at 2pm for tea and cake to celebrate the launch of Rothbury WI's Naked Calendar 2025.
As well as members of the WI, the Sheriff of Northumberland, Lucia Bridgeman, will be attending as our special guest to officially launch the calendar. Doors open at 2 pm and we anticipate finishing around 4 pm. Tickets are on sale now at just £5 each. Copies of the calendar will be available to purchase on the day at £10 each. There will also be a raffle with some excellent prizes.
