June is the month where we ask you to Go Yellow for St Barnabas Hospice. This campaign focuses on raising awareness for hospice care, by encouraging members of our local community to get their yellow thinking caps on, and put on their very own fundraising event for St Barnabas!
Yellow is a colour that has been long associated with our county, and it also acts as a representative of hospice care, therefore it is the perfect premise for the focus of your event. The way in which you choose to incorporate this into your idea is completely down to you; the wackier the better! Why not dress as a minion for a day? Or set yourself the challenge of bathing in custard? Anything goes, just be sure to Go Yellow.
Once you have decided what your event is going to consist of, or if you would like to get some inspiration, you can download a pack from www.stbarnabashospice.co.uk. In these packs you will receive posters, fundraising tips, Go Yellow sunglasses, and a copy of a sponsor sheet. We hope that these packs will make your fundraising as straightforward as possible, so we can also send them through the post if you are unable to access via the website.
Across the entirety of our services, we helped over 9,000 people last year, which required £11 million of funding. As we rely on half of this being funded through public donations, we are so grateful for the support of our community who help ensure that St Barnabas is available to all those living with a life-limiting or terminal illness in Lincolnshire.
If you would like any further information on Go Yellow, or if you require a pack, please email ella.beale@stbarnabashospice.co.uk or call 01522 559509.
