Kettering hospice asking residents to Go Green for Cransley
They say the second year of the fundraising event will allow anyone to help raise money for them.
A Kettering hospice says a fundraising event allows anyone to help raise money for them.
Next month during Hospice Care Week from 6 - 12 October 2025, the hospice are asking people to Go Green for Cransley.
The team aims for the event to be inclusive and are asking people to bake green goods, cycle instead of drive, or anything they can come up with the raise £15,000 for the hospice.
Rebecca Patenall is the Corporate and Community Fundraiser at the Hospice:
"People had gone away and done bake sales or BRIC a brat sales and every week you'd watch blue people, you think, oh, we did that at school and we've helped reach that target. And so it was a way of trying to condense that down and try and bring that back, you know, just go back to simple fundraising.
"You know, not everyone wants to jump out of a plane or run a marathon. I I don't. So it was just a way of the getting the community to come together and the realisation that, you know, every pound would make a massive difference. You don't need to be raising thousands if you raise a small amount and it all comes together, it turns into a big amount, so that was the whole idea."
Rebecca says not everyone is going to be able to do the more adventurous fundraising ideas:
"You know, not everyone wants to jump out of a plane or run a marathon. I don't."
Jenine Rees is Head of Fundraising and marketing at Cransley Hospice Trust:
"It makes an incredible difference. It costs around £755 a day, so I think it will equates to about 20 days or something of care in the Hospice. So you know the difference that that went will make the impact that that that will have is huge."
