At times, you may need round the clock care that can be provided on the In Patient Unit.
We rely on the support of the community to enable us to continue caring for patients and to support their families and loved ones. It costs £16,500 a day to run our services. Your support makes a huge difference.
At Jersey Hospice Care, it costs more than £6 million to run our services, and we simply could not do this without you.
We believe everybody in our community with a life-limiting condition should have access to the highest standard of palliative care, and that it should always be free. Every amount raised helps us to provide this and really does make a difference to the patients in our care.
Everything starts with an idea… and your ideas are what we need! Whatever you have planned, our Fundraising Team are here to help you through the process.
Celebrations are a fun and easy way to raise vital funds for your Hospice. Why not ask for donations instead of gifts for your birthday? Or make a donation pledge instead of giving favours at your wedding?
The Tap to Give donation boxes allow people to make a donation to Hospice quickly and easily through contactless giving.

Can I sell raffle tickets at my event?
Raffles can be a great way of raising some money for charity. However, there are some strict rules governing how they can be run. This is to protect the individual and the charity.
Individual members of the public can raise funds for a charity by any other means except gambling. Raffles, lotteries, and bingo are considered gambling. Individual volunteers, wishing to raise money for good causes, using gambling events with the public of Jersey, can only do so with prior agreement and supervision from the Promoter appointed from within that charity, club, or society. These organisations must hold a valid Registration or Permit with the Commission before any such events are advertised or promoted. If you do so without the charity's knowledge and oversight, you could be committing an offence.
There are guidelines set out by the Jersey Gambling Commission. We also strongly recommend that you read their advice on conducting lotteries. Before conducting any raffles, lotteries, or bingo you must contact us so we can guide you to ensure it complies with the Jersey Gambling Commission’s regulations. Contact Marina – marinabrockbank@jerseyhospicecare.com
Do I need permission to collect in a public place?
Yes, taking collections in public places requires the permission of the Bailiff under Customary Law powers. More information can be found on the States of Jersey website.
Why are there sponsorship targets for guaranteed places in some running and cycling events, while people who have their own place just have to raise as much as they can?
We have to pay for our places in the various events. For some of the most popular races, this can be very expensive.
To ensure that we contribute as much of your money as possible into caring for our patients and their families we, like other charities, have to set a minimum sponsorship target.
Those people who have been successful in securing their own place in an event have paid for that place themselves, and so it would be unfair to set them a target to cover costs which they have already paid for.
