Supporting us in the community

Changing lives in your local community  

We rely heavily on the generous support of our local community to raise around 85% of our £18.18m total income for the year.  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 Herts and Bucks. 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.  

Did you know?

Your loose change in Rennie Grove Peace collection boxes in homes, pubs and shops raised £13,516.02 last year – enough to fund 450 hours of specialist nursing care. Order a home box or collecting tin today to start saving your change to make a difference.

Local charity fundraising ideas – join an event or organise your own  

We have some lovely musical, in memory and seasonal events in your local community. Check our What’s On calendar for more details, as well as inspiration for your own event.  

Alternatively, if you’re looking for an active challenge that gets you walking or running – try our challenge events.  You can also tackle ultra-events like the London Marathon for Rennie Grove Peace. Or get sponsored to take on a personal challenge way out of your comfort zone like sky diving!  

Too much? Go smaller scale (but no less challenging) and get sponsored to give up chocolate, alcohol or social media for a month! Contact your community team for ideas and support. 

If none of that floats your boat – could hosting a social event like a coffee morning or bake sale be your cup of tea? Keen gardeners could hold a plant sale perhaps – or could you open up your garden for people to enjoy?

Check out our A to Z of fundraising ideas. And don’t forget, we have balloons, banners and a friendly team always on hand to help and very happy to hear from you.   

Local charity fundraising ideas for clubs and pubs 

You might be a member of your local WI, Lion’s Club, Rotary, Round Table or U3A. Or perhaps you’re a regular at your local pub, unwinding after work or socialising at the weekend. Wherever you meet with like-minded people who enjoy a challenge, Rennie Grove Peace has some fundraising ideas for you. 

  • host an ever-popular pub quiz? Maybe theme it around the season or an upcoming event. We might be able to help with questions – get in touch! 
  • organise a raffle with prizes such as hampers? You could have physical tickets or use an online platform such as raffal.com. Contact us if you have any questions.
  • donate a percentage from a certain food or drink choice to Rennie Grove Peace? When you mention us on your menu, it helps raise our profile as well as all-important funds.
  • place a collection tin on the bar for customers’ loose change? It’s surprising what a difference it can make. Change-makers – order your collection tin today!
  • Host a coffee morning 
  • Organise a golf day
  • Choose us as your charity of the year 

 

Book a Rennie Grove Peace Ambassador to talk to your group about the care we provide in the local community. Our brilliant volunteer engagement ambassadors across Bucks and Herts excel at public speaking and would love to meet your group. Many of your members might already know about the work we do supporting local families with life-limiting illness. Our Engagement Ambassador can give your group an insight into our unique service, answer questions and inspire you.
