In the Community
 
 

There are lots of innovative ways in which you could be a fundraiser, either on your own or with a group of friends. Here are some ideas of how you could get involved, and please don't hesitate to contact us for ideas, advice and support. Before you get started you need a letter of authority from us. This gives the people you approach the reassurance that you are genuinely fundraising on our behalf. This will be issued by us upon receipt of your letter which should outline your proposed fundraising activities, dates and contact details.

Support Imagine Events

Help us fundraise by supporting Imagine events. 

Alder Hey Imagine Appeal is holding its second Clothes Throw event on Friday October 8th  at the Racquet Club in Liverpool and you could help us by:-

  • Donating designer items from your wardrobe that you no longer wear
  • Telling your friends they can donate their lovely labels to raise funds for Europe's busiest children's hospital too
  • Attending the exclusive lunch and auction of items donated by celebrities that so far include Sarah Jessica Parker, Nicole Ritchie, Dannii Minogue and Alexandra Shulman (Editor of UK Vogue)
  • Coming along to the sale 

For further details contact Rachel on 0151 252 5364 rachel.donohoe@alderhey.nhs.uk

Get your school involved

Children often know more about the hospital than any of our other supporters because they always know a friend who has visited us!

  

Our Community Fundraising Manager would be delighted to come and visit your school and talk to the children about  the work we do, and how they can get involved to support IMAGINE.  Please ring Irene Axon on 0151-252 5742 to arrange a visit

Display collecting tins

Displaying collecting tins in shops, pubs/bars, hotels etc is a simple and effective way of raising funds for 'IMAGINE', whilst at the same time raising awareness of Alder Hey Children's Hospital. Each tin can average between £25 - £50 so it soon adds up! Contact us for further information.
