Let's hear it for our Fundraisers!

Stoke Prior Bares All

Earlier on we introduced you to Jo our Volunteers' Manager who runs our GALS group. Kim one of our GALS Group lives in Stoke Prior, her community, who in 2022 decided together they wanted to fundraise for Primrose Hospice They came together and shortly after, decided on creating a Stoke Prior calendar showing more than just their smiles

£19,151

We are incredibly pleased to say they have now raised over from the sponsors and sales of the calendars! They had support from local businesses who sponsored the calendar and the photos were taken by Julie King and Darren Shipman (who even modelled themselves too!)

2 countries, 12 days, 382km One fantastic fundraiser

In November 2022 Mark Roberts took on the challenge of cycling from Ho Chi Min City in Vietnam to Angkor Wat in Cambodia, raising funds for Primrose along the way

In 2021 Mark’s sister was diagnosed with Bowel Cancer and she was supported by Primrose before she sadly died Mark said she often spoke of the comfort and support she had received when she was with us.

£741 25

Mark raised an incredible (inc Gift Aid) and shared: “It was great to travel off the beaten track and really get to experience the fabric of Vietnam and Cambodia. I feel privileged to have been able to do something like this and pleased that I could also raise some money for a good cause at the same time. I am planning to ride from London to Paris later this year and hope to raise some more money for Primrose Hospice.”

Jo said:

“We are absolutely overwhelmed by the generosity of everyone who has supported this fantastic calendar and no words can ever express how grateful we are at Primrose Hospice.

This will make such a difference to the activities that we are now able to do in the future Thank you ”

How would you make your Fiver Flourish?

Bromsgrove Preparatory School have been busy raising vital funds through our Flourishing Fivers school fundraising project. Each student is given £5.00 which they then have to make “grow”. The year seven students have been setting themselves various fundraising incentives from a sponsored 6000 squat challenge, a 30km cycle from Bromsgrove to Worcester, cold showers, and even a mini triathlon

From September – December 2022 they’ve raised an incredible £10,004! Caroline Leather the student’s teacher said:

“It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Lucy at the hospice She has encouraged our Year 7 children to be entrepreneurial in raising funds and we are delighted that the money raised is going to such a great cause. Thanks to everyone at Primrose for giving us the opportunity to help.”

Letterbox Love spreads positivity on Valentine’s Day

We were so pleased to launch our new Primrose campaign – Letterbox Love earlier in 2023. Amy Bethel who received a Yellow Rose said: “It was a wonderful surprise to receive the beautiful Yellow Rose through my letterbox. My sister chose to send a rose to brighten my day and the fact that I know her donation is helping to support people who are bereaved is lovely.”
