Hop to it and Fundraise with us

25th February 2021

To continue raising funds for 2021, St Barnabas Hospice is asking its supporters to go hopping mad this Spring.

With Easter just a few weeks away, the Hospice is ‘egg-cited’ to launch the St Barnabas Bunny Hop, which is perfect for nurseries, childminders and schools.

This free-to-register fundraiser provides supporters and their bunnies with all the support and resources needed to plan the big Hop.

Fundraising Development Manager at St Barnabas, Caroline Swindin, said: “We’re excited to launch our Bunny Hop and getting involved couldn’t be easier. Supporters just need to pick a date between 22nd March and 16th April to hold their Bunny Hop and Barney the bunny will deliver a FREE pair of fluffy bunny ears for each child and one lucky adult!

“Nurseries, groups or schools simply need to set up a JustGiving page where supporters can make a donation in the weeks leading up to the Hop. Everyone who sets up their JustGiving page by 16th March will also receive a Bunny Hop Easter Egg Hunt kit, including chocolate eggs and bunny footprints.”

The hospice has set up a sponsorship target of £5.10 for each child taking part. This small donation provides a patient receiving Hospice at Home care with hot and cold packs to help soothe swollen joints and offer pain relief from aching muscles.

Even smaller donations can make a big impact for a patient, which is why any sponsorship raised is gratefully received.

On the day, bunnies can choose to hop around their nursery, garden or bounce across a school playing field.

Barney will also be making some special appearances on social media, so make sure you follow #BunnyHop to see what Barney is up to next.

To say a big thank you, Barney will also send a video message after Hops and a downloadable certificate too.

Registrations close on 15th March, or earlier if the event is full.
