Plan your own event

Organising an event is a fantastic way to support Farleigh Hospice, bring people together, and raise vital funds for patients, families, and children and young people across mid Essex. From community quiz nights and bake sales to sponsored challenges or sporting events, every effort makes a real difference and can be enjoyable to run.

How to organise your event

Here are some simple steps to help you plan something successful

Pick your activity

Choose something you enjoy that will appeal to friends, family, colleagues or your community. Ideas include quiz nights, bake sales, coffee mornings, sponsored walks, runs or swims, or virtual events. The possibilities are endless.

Promote your event or page

Share with friends, family, colleagues and your wider community. Use posters, emails and social media, and keep people updated with photos and progress.

Decide how people can donate

You can collect donations in person, set up an online fundraising page, or use a combination of both.

Set a fundraising goal

A target can help motivate supporters and track progress.

Set a date, time and location
