ST ANN’S HOSPICE Latest fundraiser now coming out of the blue

COULD you go blue for St Ann’s this May to raise money for the local patients and families they care for?

You can say ‘yes’ to blue in whatever way works for you: You could wear something blue to work or school and ask everyone to donate (fancy dress could make it fun), bake something blue for a bake sale or craft something blue for a craft-and-coffee morning.

Why not go #Blue4StAnns at work, at school, in your community, or from home?

St Ann’s Hospice are asking everyone to go blue on Friday 17 May, however they’d love to see people going blue any day in May!

The St Ann’s Hospice Romiley charity shop are taking part and are going blue on Friday, May 17.

Esme Evans, the shop manager, said: “We are all very excited to be taking part in Go Blue for St Ann’s Hospice! We will be wearing blue on the day and we’ll be putting out a blue themed charity shop window to match.

“Our staff are going to make cakes to sell in the shop on the day and we’re going to do a raffle too.”

Some of our top tips for raising the most money include: setting up your own QR code on your JustGiving page, taking photos of when you’re going blue and tagging St Ann’s Hospice on social media and talking to your employer to see if match funding is an option.

You can set yourself a fundraising target and spread the word by telling all your friends and family why you’re going blue.

Anne-Marie Wynne, head of fundraising at St Ann’s Hospice, said: “We couldn’t support thousands of local people every year without your help.

“Going #Blue4StAnns this May will help us to provide excellent free care and support to people affected by life-limiting illnesses.”
