Appeals
Department Report
We
have managed to run a diverse calendar of activities - from stalls
at fetes in many towns and villages in our catchment areas, to
concerts, parades, auctions, our own Garden Fete and Jazz Night (in
the beautiful setting of Farnham Castle), Street Collections, Bike
Ride, Hospice Walk (with WWF), providing copy for our 2001 calendar
and supplying Christmas cards to meet many tastes.
|
Our
Coffee Mornings in the Hospice’s Day Care Centre in November for the
sale of Christmas cards and gifts were a resounding success and are now an
annual event.
Many
service clubs and organisations have very kindly come forward with help on
our collection days and provided manpower on other occasions, for which we
thank them hugely. This is such a practical way to help with our work and
the public always respond generously. I would encourage anyone who would
like to help, to call me for the latest information on forthcoming events.
Numerous
GP practices, day care centres, hospitals and companies have helped by
holding a collection tin during Sunflower Week in June and have also sold
literally thousands of ‘Christmas Pets’ over the Christmas period for
our benefit. Thanks to all of you for your enthusiastic help.
This
year, as this Review went to press, it was time for ‘Voices for
Hospices.’ This great worldwide event happens every three years (next
time is 2003), sponsored by British Telecom. Hundreds of people paid to
come and sing - and also to listen - to Handel’s Messiah principally at
the Memorial Chapel, RMA Sandhurst, and at St. Thomas on the Bourne
Church, Farnham. Thousands of pounds were raised for the Hospice. Sincere
thanks to our organisers who worked so hard and of course, to all those of
you who went along to support us. |

We
are always open to suggestions from anyone with interesting new ways to
raise funds - or who would like to help with an existing one! In
conclusion, my thanks to the many hundreds of people who help us,
especially to my dedicated band of volunteers who help man the Appeals
Office.
