FUNDRAISING
#TeamPCRC
#TeamPCRC are the most amazing, inspiring fundraisers who we cannot thank enough for their support. They really are at the heart of everything we do, mostly because they tend to have been affected by prostate cancer at some point of their lives but also because their passion, effort and time put into their fundraising, it’s just incredible. In the last year, we have had Sophie Baldry run the London Marathon, raising over £7000 by encouraging 170 Barclays branches to fundraise individually for us. Our PCRC Runsters, Steve, Irene and Susan raise hundreds of pounds each time collecting and raising awareness in their local Morrison’s. Clem Burford also did a 24 hour flight simulator challenge and raised over £5000.
We really value #TeamPCRC and in 2018, we implemented a new stewardship programme, ensuring that fundraisers feel special, part of the PCRC team and connected to our cause throughout their journey with us. The relationships we build are invaluable and we have tried to meet as many people as we can face to face, as well as speak on the phone to help develop those and put faces to names. The fundraisers who have been into our office, met us for a coffee or maintained regular contact have all exceeded fundraising targets which really shows how building those relationships can benefit. Thanks to this stewardship as well as the passion and drive from #Team PCRC we have had a great amount of growth across events and community fundraising which we are extremely grateful for and we hope this continues to grow as we expand our events and community programme.
