Community Fundraising

The Heart of Tapping House. Our Amazing Community

At Tapping House, we’re incredibly fortunate to have the incredible support of our wonderful community.

You really are the reason we can continue to provide outstanding hospice care to those who need it most.

From hosting bake sales and golf days to playing gigs and taking on creative challenges, your passion, generosity, and brilliant ideas are the backbone of our fundraising efforts. Every event organised, every pound raised, and every moment you dedicate helps us provide compassionate care to patients and their families.

We simply couldn’t do what we do without you. Your support means the world to us, and we’re incredibly grateful for the way everyone rallies around our cause. Together, we’re making a lasting difference in people’s lives and for that, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Let’s keep the inspiration flowing! If you have a fundraising idea, big or small, we’d love to hear from you. Together, we must make sure that our vital services remain available for all who need it

"I fundraise for the Hospice because they give so much dedicated care to such a wide range of illnesses, who would not help them? The Fundraising Team is a wealth of knowledge, offering help and advice whenever you need it. They will guide you in the right direction and iron out any worries you may have along the way. Of course fundraising is all about making money, but it can be enormous fun meeting new people and making new friends. Give it a try, you will enjoy it!"

Val –  longest serving (30yrs) Fundraiser of the Hospice, over the last few years she has organised many of her own fundraising events. 

Our outstanding care costs a staggering £5.7m a year

“Tapping House is an amazing place and they rely so much on donations to keep them running.”

SCHOOLS FESTIVE FUN RUN

Amazing funds raised having festive fun!

A massive thank you to all the schools that made this year’s Rudolph Run a resounding success! Students, staff, and even some festive helpers laced up their trainers and dashed with Rudolph to raise funds for Tapping House. Every step you took has made a difference, and we couldn’t be prouder of your efforts.

Thank you to all our little Rudolph Runners for bringing festive cheer and hope to our Hospice this festive season! Rudolph will be reporting back soon in 2025 once he has counted up all the money raised and let you know the final total.
