£50 Challenge
3 months, £50...
What entrepreneurial idea will you come up with to make more money, and how much will you raise?!
We are looking for businesses to take on our £50 challenge. You will receive a £50 stake in the competition to get you started and will be tasked with fundraising in any way you like from 1st May - 31st July. Each team will use their £50 stake to try and raise as much money as possible to help Bolton Hospice support local people living with life-limiting illnesses.
Maybe you'll hire a hall and host a jumble sale, or invite special guests to an afternoon tea? How about organising a raffle or tombola, or getting crafty and selling your creations?
The sky's the limit, so whatever you decide to do to grow your £50 - GOOD LUCK!
Challenge rules:
- The challenge will start from 1st May and end on 31st July.
- You will receive your £50 stake from our sponsors, Stateside, at our launch evening at the end of April - 22nd April.
- Fundraising can be achieved by multiple events or just one on one day.
- Anything goes as long as it’s safe and legal!
- We kindly ask that you email us a summary of your fundraising activities and your fundraising total to us by 14th August 2024 so that we can select our winners.
- The winners will be revealed at our awards ceremony (date TBC), where there will be trophies for most creative fundraising idea, most crafty team, most sporty team and most profit generated.
If you're interested in taking part or would like to find out more, get in touch with our fundraising team at fundraising@boltonhospice.org or call 01204 663 065.

Kath's hospice story
Kath was admitted to Bolton Hospice in March 2020. Matthew, Kath's son, now tells her story in memory of his mum:
"During mum's near 35-year battle with cancer, she had fought and beat it 4 times. Unfortunately, on this last occasion, an unfair combination of breast, lung, brain and spinal cancer was just one step to far.
Roy's hospice story
Your support helps patients like Roy who filmed this video the night before he returned home after a stay in the inpatient unit. He sent it to us to share on social media, in the hope that, he can help raise awareness about hospice services in Bolton.
Roy's message is a poignant reminder about how important accessing specialist hospice care is for people living with a life-limiting illness.
Rosie's hospice story
Rosie Adamson-Clark has experienced the care we provide here at Bolton Hospice, through both our Inpatient Unit and Wellbeing Hub. She is also a proud hospice supporter, raising funds to help even more people and families in our community when they need us most.
