A Second 3K Offer

Bury Hospice had a nice surprise last week when another anonymous pensioner stepped forward to price match the Mystery Mans donation!

£3K was pledged by a mystery lady who had been brought up in Bury until her early twenties when she moved away. 60 years later and the pensioner still holds ties with her roots.

What would you be willing to donate? Ok 3K may be a lot to some of us - so why not break the costs up with a Standing Order form with what you can afford?

To buy 1 foot = £12 ( £1 a month standing order)
             2 feet = £24 ( £2 a month standing order)
             3 feet = £36 ( £3 a month standing order)
             4 feet = £48 ( £4 a month standing order)
             5 feet = £60 ( £5 a month standing order)
             6 feet ETC...

So if you are interested in donating monthly, quarterly, or annually please email or call us to request your standing order form.

If you would prefer you can pop into one of our 4 Charity shops in Bury, Prestwich, Radcliffe and Ramsbottom.

To contact us call 0161 763 1545 or email capitalappeal@buryhospice.org.uk

Match that Mystery...Man

Just to add a little bit of excitement to our lives, a man has stepped forward anonymously offering the Hospice £3,000.00 on one condition!

Three other people must come forward and match his donation of £3,000.00 in order for him to comply.

The gentleman admits he isnt the richest man in Bury, but felt it would be better putting his money to good use and wanted to find a clever way of raising funds for the New Build.

If three others were to step forward, that £12,000.00 could buy the majority of a small room in the New Hospice. If you think you would be interested in helping out please let us know.

And remember, it doesnt have to be a lump sum! You may prefer to set-up a standing order and pay £250 a month or ANYTHING you can afford! Whatever your wish, we can  try and tailor to your need - just give us a call on 0161 763 1545 or email capitalappeal@buryhospice.org.uk
