Online Event Sponsorship

A growing number of supporters raise funds for Dr Kershaw’s by competing in a variety of events/challenges throughout the year.

Although many supporters choose to raise sponsorship money by taking part in marathon/running events. Other challenges such as; parachute jumps, cycling, treks, triathlons and swimming can be undertaken in aid of the Hospice.

Dr Kershaw’s Hospice has teamed up with Virgin Money Giving so all our runners and events participants can raise money quickly and easily online with their own personalised web pages.

Virgin Money Giving is Dr. Kershaw’s preferred online sponsorship (and online donation) provider due to its lower charges which means more of your generous sponsorship monies are received by the Hospice to continue its vital work in the local community.

One of the key benefits of online sponsorship is that friends and relatives can still sponsor even when out of the local area or even abroad and are therefore unable to contribute via a traditional paper sponsorship form.

The Virgin Money Giving website enables donations to be made quickly and easily using a debit/credit card or PayPal with sponsors able to leave their own good luck messages/comments. Gift Aid is also automatically claimed by Virgin Money Giving on eligible donations and is paid to the Hospice on a regular basis.

Please note: The Hospice remains registered with Justgiving and you may still use this service if you wish. Justgiving has recently introduced a facility accept sponsorship donations via text messages.
