Care at Hospice
At times you may need round the clock care that can be provided on the In Patient Unit.
Fundraise for Hospice
At Jersey Hospice Care, it costs approximately £16,400 a day to run our services and we simply couldn’t do this without you.
Thank you for choosing to fundraise for Jersey Hospice Care
Whether you’re choosing to fundraise in memory of a loved one, or want to raise money for one of the Island’s most loved charities, we are so grateful for your fundraising efforts.
We believe everybody in our community with a life-limiting condition, regardless of diagnosis, should have access to the highest standard of palliative care, and that it should always be free - every amount raised helps us to provide this and really does make a difference to the patients in our care. Thank you.

Virtual Fundraiser
Social distancing doesn’t have to stop you from fundraising!
At Jersey Hospice Care we’re still here, and we’re still caring for our community. Our specialist teams are still caring for patients on our In Patient Unit and in the community, providing unfailing support in this challenging and difficult time.
We’re also increasing and extending our bereavement and emotional support services to ensure that we are there for anyone who needs us. Will you continue supporting us so that we can support others?
We’re still in a very strange time so it’s time to get creative...to download our Virtual Fundraising Guide please click here.

Can I sell raffle tickets at my event?
Raffles can be a great way of raising some money for charity. However, there are some strict rules governing how they can be run.
The simplest way to hold a raffle within the rules is to hold it alongside another event; a pub quiz for example. You will need to sell the tickets during your event, and the raffle has to be drawn and prizes given out on the same night. If you do a raffle this way, you may not need a license.
If you want to hold a raffle on its own, you will need a specific license.
In both situations, you must follow the guidelines set out by the Jersey Gambling Commission. We also strongly recommend that you read their advice on conducting lotteries. If you are in doubt, please give us a call and we will do our best to help you.
Do I need permission to collect in a public place?
Yes, taking collections in public places requires the permission of the Bailiff under Customary Law powers. More information can be found on the States of Jersey website.
Why are there sponsorship targets for guaranteed places in some running and cycling events, while people who have their own place just have to raise as much as they can?
We have to pay for our places in the various events. For some of the most popular races, this can be very expensive.
To ensure that we contribute as much of your money as possible into caring for our patients and their families we, like other charities, have to set a minimum sponsorship target.
Those people who have been successful in securing their own place in an event have paid for that place themselves, and so it would be unfair to set them a target to cover costs which they have already paid for.
