Our fundraising promise

At St Richard’s Hospice we are extremely appreciative of our many passionate, committed and generous supporters. Without our wonderful local community, we simply wouldn’t be able to continue to provide specialist care to patients and their families, when they need us most.

We want to make sure that as part of this supportive fundraising community you have a great experience and it’s important to us that you are happy and communicated with in the way that’s right for you.

• We will keep your personal details safe and we’ll never share or sell your details to any other organisations.
• We will communicate appropriately and sensitively, and are especially careful when engaging with vulnerable people.
• For every £1 you give, 82p is spent on patient care, 18p is spent on administration and fundraising.
• If you have questions about our fundraising activities and costs, we will answer them openly and truthfully. Please take a look at our annual reports
• We will keep you up-to-date with inspiring and relevant news from our care team and the families you are helping.
• You will always be able to let us know how you would like to be communicated with or if you would prefer not to be contacted.
• Our database is constantly updated to ensure we have correct contact details for you, and we’ll make sure we know exactly how you’d like to receive communications from St Richard’s.
• We adopt best fundraising practice as set out by regulatory bodies, and will continue to do so as these are updated.
• We make your donation count
• Our Fundraising team is always happy to help. You can contact them on 01905 763963 or email appeals@strichards.org.uk 
• If we fail in our endeavours and you become unsatisfied with the service being offered we would ask that you put your concerns in writing to Tricia Cavell, Fundraising Director, St Richards Hospice, Wildwood Drive, WR5 2QT or via email tcavell@strichards.org.uk
