Friends Groups

Stratford Friends of the Shakespeare Hospice

The Stratford Friends are a group of dedicated volunteers who work tirelessly to raise money for the Hospice.  They are often the public side of the Hospice, and can frequently be seen around Stratford collecting money for the Hospice whilst wearing their unique Friends of the Shakespeare Hospice T-Shirts.

Many fundraising events are organised each year by the Friends.  Lots of these have become fixtures in the calendar, such as the ladies lunch each June and the auction, which has been going for nine years and last year raised more than £9,000. 

The Friends have contributed enormously to the Hospice over the years, not only in their fundraising endeavours but with their enthusiasm, commitment and thousands of hours spent volunteering.  In the last financial year they raised over £20,000, equivalent to the costs of the Hospice's diversional therapy and complementary therapy services.

The Friends group meets once a month to plan their activities, and are always keen to attract new members to their ranks.  If you would like to find out more information about joining the group please contact the fundraising team on 01789 266852 or by email.

To find out more about what the Friends will be doing over the coming months have a look at the Friends website.
