Fundraise at school

Thanks to staff, students and parents for your support

Students from Barnsley Academy present the money raised through their Rudolph Run

Schools across the borough do a fantastic job of supporting Barnsley Hospice and raising money to fund our care and support for local patients and their families.

Schools raise money all year round at bake sales, Christmas jumper days and sponsored events. Dozens also take part in our annual ‘Rudolph Runs’ whilst others enjoy non-uniform days during Hospice Care Week when they ‘Go Orange’ and wear bright clothes to school.

We supply the antlers and red noses – you go for the sponsored Rudolph Runs around your school!

If your school would like to support the hospice, we are here to help you. We can:

come along and talk at an assembly about what the hospice does
bring the Barnsley Hospice mascot Oscar along to support your efforts!
drop you off a fundraising bundle of balloons, collecting buckets and T-shirts for teachers
answer any of your questions about how to fundraise for Barnsley Hospice
arrange a cheque presentation at your school if you’d like one

Coming soon – poster template, cut-out bunting and more. Also, please use the form at the bottom of this page to request a ‘fundraising bundle’ of banner, balloons, bucket – and a T-shirt or two for teachers.

How to donate your money

One of the best ways to collect money from your fundraiser, and donate it directly to the hospice with minimum effort is to set up a JustGiving page. See our guide to setting up your own page and connecting it to Barnsley Hospice.

You can also donate the money you’ve raised via our website using the button below. It’s very quick, easy and secure and you’ll receive an acknowledgement of your donation.
