For Individuals
We’re asking the whole office to come together for just one wonderful hour to raise funds to support patients in your local hospice this April.
Employers are asked to give one hour of time to employees, on a date throughout the month of April 2025. In exchange, employees are asked to donate an hour of their salary to the company’s chosen hospice.
Do you want to donate an hour of your salary to hospice? Here’s how:
- Use our salary calculator to calculate your hourly wage.
- If your company has registered to participate, select your company in the dropdown menu and complete the form. Your donation will automatically go to your company’s chosen hospice.
- If your company is not participating in the event, select ‘No my company is not participating’, choose your preferred hospice, and complete the donation form.
- When your donation is complete, you will receive a personalised Your Finest Hour For Hospice badge that can be shared online.
**Top tip! Donations can be made anonymous – simply choose to hide your name or the amount when making a donation.
By taking part in Your Finest Hour For Hospice and donating just 1 hour of your time this April, you will be giving the gift of compassion, kindness and dignity to those that need it most at a time they need it most.
Donate an Hour of Your Salary
Use our wage calculator to work out your gross hourly salary and make a donation to your local hospice.
* Please note the calculator generates your gross hourly salary and does not store any personal data. The calculator is intended as a guide only, your donation amount can be adjusted to whatever you can afford to give.
