Hospiscare Together Magazine Autumn 2020

It’s beginning to look
a lot like Christmas
Treecycle your
Christmas tree
Take the hassle out of your postfestive
clear up and support
Hospiscare at the same time by
signing up to our special Christmas
tree recycling scheme.
Hospiscare will once again be
working in partnership with
JustHelping to send out teams of
volunteers to collect trees from
homes around the Exeter area
between the 9 - 17 January.
All you need to do is sign up online
after 15 November, register your tree
for collection and make a donation.
You will be helping to provide our
specialist care and support for local
people and their families.
Thank you!
Volunteers needed
If you would like to help our tree
recycling campaign by offering
your time to help, we’re looking for
volunteers and/or people with vans
who will be willing to donate a day
(or half a day) to help.

Christmas Raffle
There’s a change coming for
Christmas 2020!
We’re excited to announce that this
year we would like to invite you
to hold a Big Christmas Raffle for
Hospiscare!
Make the build-up to Christmas
even more exciting, by holding a
raffle with a wonderful prize!
You could raffle off an item from your
shop, or a voucher for a meal at your
restaurant, or an unopened box of
chocolates (does that even exist?).
It is completely up to you what you
choose as your raffle prize. It’s a fun
and easy way to help raise funds for
our patients and their families in
your local community.
Registering is simple and we will
send you all you need to set up
your raffle – all you need to do is
supply a prize. You will have the
support of one of the members of
our fundraising team who will be on
hand to answer any questions. Our
fundraisers can also offer you tips
for physical or virtual raffle options
to ensure that you can manage your
raffle safely within government
guidelines.
If you want to get involved or
would like more details, please call
the Fundraising Team on 01392
688020 or email fundraising@
hospiscare.co.uk
Light Up A Life
At Christmas time, we will be joining
together to remember loved ones
who are no longer with us.
Due to the current social distancing
measures, we will not be holding
any services but we will celebrate
together, virtually, on one night in
December.
Our Books of Memories with your
dedications will be available in the
local churches that usually hold
a Light Up A Life service and in
the Cathedral for your own private
reflection. The tree will still shine on
Cathedral Green in Exeter with the
lights of those we hold close to our
hearts during the festive season.
Further details will be sent out in
October and will be available on our
website. If you have any questions,
please call 01392 688020 or email
fundraising@hospiscare.co.uk
