Sell LOROS novelties and help raise funds for the Hospice. These are available at Christmas and in the spring. We can deliver them to you and call again to collect any money and unsold stock
Run an event or series of events to benefit the Hospice. This could include taking collections or donating proceeds from ticket sales at plays or concerts etc
Invite us to sell Hospice merchandise (such as greeting cards and cuddlies)
Have LOROS information at your events such as newsletter and events flyers
Run a stall at a summer fete, open day, fresher’s week or other event
Donate unwanted clothes and other goods via a donation station or host a LOROS car park van collection
Other ideas include cake making and selling … the possibilities are endless

A few suggestions include:

However, students are always full of high jinks, great ideas and more importantly, full of energy so the list could almost be endless!

As well as fundraising events they could help out at one or more of our locally run events, assist on a stall or even help out at the Hospice.

You might also think about nominating LOROS as your university’s RAG charity.
