Supporting us in the community

Changing lives in our local community  

As we only receive 14% statutory funding, as a charity, we need to raise 86% of our £20m total income through the generous support of our local community.  £6.2m of this amount is raised through fundraising, which equates to £17,000 per day.

If you’re looking for local charity fundraising ideas, you’ve come to the right place. At Rennie Grove Peace, our dedicated community fundraising team can help you make a real difference in your local community.  

When you host your own event or fundraise for us in other ways, you’re making a massive difference to families in Bucks and Herts. Thanks to people like you – who host quizzes, dinners, coffee mornings and more – local families facing life-limiting illness get specialist care and support.  

You can fundraise for us in so many ways, from hosting an event to having a collection box in your home, community hub or workplace.
