Employee fundraising

Raising money is lots of fun! There are lots of ways for colleagues to get involved in fundraising for Forest Holme.

A virtual team challenge – Run, walk, skip, hop, cycle, swim, roll or flip – get physical & get those endorphins pumping. You set the challenge; a goal according to your fitness level at a time that suits you.

Bake off – Throw an office bake off. Get your colleagues competing for the best cakes and biscuits, then sell the results.

Sweepstake – Organise a sweepstake with friends, family, and colleagues. You could choose a sporting event like the World Cup or Wimbledon or a TV show like Strictly Come Dancing or Eurovision. People pay to play and whoever picks the winner, wins a prize and you donate the money raised.

Run Bournemouth – Get a team together to take part in

Wing Walk or Skydive – Sponsor the boss to take part in a Wing Walk or skydive.

Jurassic Coast Challenge – Get together as a team for a physical challenge setting off from Poole and trekking 25km, 50km or 100km along the spectacular Jurassic Coast.

Matched funding – Don’t forget to ask your employer if they have a scheme in place to match the total donations that you raise for Forest Holme.


Gifts in Kind

As well as supporting us with donations and fundraising, we always appreciate donations of products and free services as these ensure that more funds can be allocated directly towards patient care.

If this is something that you could support with then please get in touch.


Sponsorship opportunities

We have several events taking place over the year that you could get involved in.

Sponsorship is a great way to show your commitment to our cause as well as help your company to raise brand awareness across our community.
