Chichester PR Agency Raises Much Needed Funds for Local Hospice

Chichester PR Agency Raises Much Needed Funds for Local Hospice

Shotgun PR decided to give something back to the West Sussex community and raised an amazing £101.25 for St Wilfrid’s Hospice by selling cakes and a nice hot cuppa to the local people of Chichester.

Fundraising and charity work is something Kylee Charles, Managing Director of Shotgun PR, is very passionate about. Using her marketing expertise, she spread the word on social media using #LoveYourHospice and tempted people’s taste buds by home baking yummy cakes. The Chichester Observer wrote a fantastic article on the fundraising efforts by Shotgun PR and applauded their efforts on promoting the fundraising initiative of #LoveYourHospice.

St Wilfrid’s Hospice was very touched by the generosity of the local community and thanked Shotgun PR for organising a fantastic fundraising event. Alisa Lakeman-Ford, Events and Community Officer for St Wilfrid’s Hospice said: “Thank you so much for taking part, I do hope everyone had a good time! Our thanks go to everyone that took part; those who baked cakes and those who bought them too!”

St Wilfrid’s Hospice is an independent local charity that has been caring for and supporting those in our community who are in the last phase of their lives for over 25 years. They rely on voluntary donations to survive as their annual running costs are just under £6.7 million and 87% has to be raised through voluntary and private sources.

Surprisingly, fundraising is such an important aspect of running a business and can be overlooked. Showing the local community how much you care means you will receive a good reputation and a positive branding image. It doesn’t have to be big, clever or a brand new idea, it just needs to raise much needed money and, most importantly of all, be fun for you and anyone else taking part.
