We sometimes find that people would rather support St Gemma’s, in lieu of receiving personal gifts or cards at a time of celebration, such as a wedding anniversary or a special birthday.
This is easy to do by asking friends, relatives and guests to make a donation to the Hospice in recognition of your special occasion.
We can supply you with personalised printed cards that include details about your occasion and how guests can donate to St Gemma’s Hospice. You can then send these cards out with your invitations.
The cards give our FREEPOST address so gifts can be sent – at no cost to your guests – directly to the Hospice.
St Gemma’s Hospice charity wedding favours and special occasion favours make a perfect keepsake for your guests whilst raising funds for your local hospice.
These pin badges make a great addition to your event whether it is a wedding, christening, anniversary or birthday.
Email fundraising@st-gemma.co.uk to find out more about our range of pin badges.

You can include photos and messages to your guests on the page. Choose ‘St Gemma’s Hospice’ as the charity to benefit and all donations will come directly to us.
We had a great time celebrating our 50th birthdays at Horsforth Golf Club with all our family and friends and raising money for St Gemma’s by raffling off a couple of hampers and some other things kindly donated by Morrisons. The reason we wanted to raise funds for St Gemma’s is that my Mother (Molly Teasdale) spent a lot of time at the hospice several years ago and ended up passing away there.
The care she was given at St Gemma’s was excellent and in fact our whole family were very well looked after during her final days. This is a small way of thanking St Gemma’s for making my Mum’s final time on earth comfortable and treating her with care and compassion and we hope it helps towards the care of other patients in the hospice.
