Why Get Involved

1. Support Hospice Patients

  • You can make a positive difference to patients and their families at a very difficult time.
  • The 24 Hospices nationwide that make up Together For Hospice need to raise approximately €20million each year. With the population over 65 set to triple over the next 30 years, demand for services continues to grow and in 2023 alone, hospice and specialist palliative homecare providers across Ireland cared for over 14,000 patients and made over 87,000 homecare visits.
  • Every euro raised locally, stays locally. When you support Together For Hospice you’re supporting your local hospice. Watch our video to learn more about Together For Hospice. 

 

2. Support your company’s CSR goals

  • Opportunity for employees to engage in a hour of down time and connection with their colleagues, as well as the feel-good factor of giving an hour of their salary to charity.
  • Supporting worthy causes has proven to increase customer loyalty and enhance your brand values and awareness.
  • Employee fundraising is a fantastic way to help to boost morale and team spirit. It can help with employee attraction, engagement and retention.

 

3. Impact

  • The Impact of your support is measurable. Each organisation will have their own unique fundraising page and URL where a tally of the total funds raised by your organisation will be visible.
  • We will share the total funds raised for hospices nationwide through the generosity and support of workplaces like yours participating throughout the country.
  • As a national campaign, coordinated by Together For Hospice, it’s an opportunity to be part of a nationwide effort to support local hospices.
