Reverse Christmas Advent Calendar
Are you fed up of gifting socks to your friends and loved ones at Christmas?! If so, we have the perfect gift idea for you.
This year we are introducing the Reverse Advent Calendar to help raise funds to support palliative and end of life care to people living in West Cumbria.
A Reverse Advent Calendar idea is so simple – rather than receiving a treat each day, you can gift one. This will really help you to get into the festive spirit of the season, as you can gift a day to a friend, family member or in loving memory of someone.
If you are donating a day as a Christmas gift, we will email you a certificate to gift to the person on Christmas Day.
If you are a company that would like get involved, then please provide us with your logo and we will add it to our thank you post on socials and our website.
The rules
If you would like to gift or sponsor a day, please ensure you contact our fundraising team on: info@hhwc.org.uk or call: 01900 873173, this will ensure you receive your certificate.
You can purchase more than one day to gift to friends and loved ones.
