What it means to be one of our BIG 50 Fundraisers

By joining this special group, you are doing far more than raising funds. You are becoming part of a select group of just 50 people who will help us mark our anniversary year and shape the next chapter of hospice care for our community.

Here’s what you get:

What counts as a BIG 50 fundraiser Challenge?

Any event, team, or individual who raises £2,000 or more throughout 2026.

It has to be something you’ve organised independently (so not one of our organised events like the Twilight Walk or Colour Run. Although, we’d love to see you at those too!) Beyond that? It’s up to you.

Not sure where to begin with your BIG 50 fundraising challenge? Don’t worry – the most successful fundraisers aren’t always the biggest or boldest ideas, but the ones that feel personal and achievable:

Who can take part?

Everyone is welcome to join our BIG 50. You might be an individual ready for a new challenge, a group of friends wanting to achieve something special, a family hoping to give back, or a business team coming together for a great cause.

It doesn’t matter how old you are or how fit you feel – what truly matters is your heart for helping your local hospice continue its specialist care.

Why your local hospice needs you

Since 1976, Cynthia Spencer Hospice has supported thousands of patients and their families through some of life’s most difficult moments. This legacy of compassion, dignity and care has only been possible because of people like you – people who choose to stand alongside us when it matters most.

As one of our BIG 50 Fundraisers, you will each aim to raise £2,000 or more during 2026. That amount alone could fund a weeks worth of care for a patient and their family, providing comfort, reassurance and expert support to patients and families when they need it most.

There is no right or wrong way to fundraise. Whether you take on a personal challenge, bring people together for an event, or create something entirely your own, you will have our full support every step of the way.

By becoming one of our BIG 50, you're doing your bit to help us be here for the next 50 years.

Frequently Asked Questions

The BIG 50 fundraiser is running throughout 2026 as part of our 50th anniversary. As long as you hit your £2,000 target by 31st December 2026, you’ll be one of our BIG 50.

Every penny you raise still makes a huge difference. But to be officially celebrated as one of our BIG 50, you’ll need to hit that £2k target.

Absolutely! Group challenges are brilliant. As long as you raise £2,000 together, you’ll all be counted as part of our BIG 50 fundraisers.
Our big organised events (Twilight Walk, Cycle4Cynthia, Colour Run, etc.) don’t count towards BIG 50 fundraising, but we’d still love to see you there! This is all about independently organised challenges.

When you sign up, you’ll get your digital fundraising pack with everything you need. Plus, our team will be in touch to see how we can help as you get things started.

Of course! Life happens. Just let us know what you’re doing instead.
