Can I have Cransley Hospice Trust branded materials like balloons, posters and collection tubs?

Please contact our fundraising team on 01536 452423 or email fundraising@cransleyhospice.org.uk for balloons, collection tubs and other branded materials that you might need.
Can Cransley Hospice Trust help to promote my fundraising event?
We are happy to offer advice on how you can promote your fundraising event, and where possible and appropriate, we are happy to share details on our social media channels.
How do I set up an online fundraising page?
An online fundraising page is a good way to tell people about what you're doing and setting up your own page couldn't be easier:
- Head to JustGiving and create your fundraising page
- Personalise your page with photos, and add a message about why you’re fundraising for us
- Shout about it! Send your friends, family and colleagues a link to your page, post it on Facebook, tweet it and watch as the messages of support and sponsorship start to come in.
If you are fundraising in memory of a loved one, take a look at our very special Tulip Tribute pages where you can fundraise online, share photos, videos and unforgettable memories.
With a JustGiving page and the Tulip Tribute, you won't have to chase people for money as the funds get sent directly to us from both websites.
If you would like any help or advice on setting up your page don't hesitate to call the Fundraising team on 01536 452423 or send an email to info@cransleyhospice.org.uk
