Hospice Awareness Month

June is National Hospice Awareness Month - aimed at raising the awareness of the role played by hospices.  Lewis-Manning is promtoing a 'Wear Yellow Day' on Friday 20th June to raise much needed funds for the hospice.

We’re aiming to encourage as many people as possible to hold a fundraising activity on our behalf with the colour yellow as the main theme. This represents the colour of the National Hospice Movement symbol, the sunflower.  

We would like to invite businesses, schools, colleges, playgroups and our supporters to take part in a Wear Yellow event.  We’re holding ours on Friday 20^th June but you can pick any day in June to hold your event. You can dress from head to toe in sunshine yellow, choose to wear just one item of yellow clothing or simply accessorise with a yellow tie, scarf or sunflower pin badge.  If you want to be totally outrageous and dress up in yellow fancy dress or sponsor your boss to wear a yellow wig, then do  - it’s all about having fun. 

Tea at 3 is another simple and fun way to raise money for your local hospice whether at work, school, regular group meetings or at your home.  Thousands of people in workplaces, schools, at home and across local communities hold fundraising tea parties or donate money for their tea break at anytime throughout June.  

Your support during Hospice Awareness Month would make a valuable difference to the lives of over 600 local people that attend the hospice each year.

If you would like more information about hosting your own event or how you can take part in Hospice Awareness Month June 2008 please contact us in the fundraising office.
