£10 Challenge

£10 Challenge

Get involved in the St Helena Hospice £10 Challenge!

There are lots of exciting ways your school, youth club or community group can get involved and help local people facing incurable illness and bereavement.

The St Helena Hospice £10 Challenge encourages all young people, school students, youth clubs, and community groups to use their entrepreneurial skills to grow a £10 investment into as much money as they can for St Helena Hospice.

The challenge supports a broad range of subjects particularly maths and English, and also helps students to develop a number of skills including communication, team work, leadership and creativity. All of these help support young people in preparing for their next step in education and the world of employment. 

Year 6 students at Littlegarth school raised £9,628.01 in 2024.

Your work at the Hospice has inspired me to always help when I can and to look after each other.

We did a sponsored bounce on the trampoline. We completed 4460 bounces to cover the amount of people who were cared for by the hospice last year.

Our £10 challenge is aimed at young people in school years 6 and above and is open to primary and secondary schools, as well as youth clubs, community groups and after school clubs.

Each year we are amazed by the creative fundraising ideas that emerge; from investing the £10 into ingredients for a cake sale, to turning their existing hobbies into a business – the possibilities are endless.

All that’s left to do is:

  • Sign up - call our fundraising team on 01206 931 468 or register your interest by sending an email to fundraising@sthelena.org.uk
  • We'll visit to chat to you and the students
  • We'll provide you with the £10 notes (we suggest 6 - 8 teams per school)
  • Start fundraising!

A certificate will be awarded to each team upon completion. 

For more information and to get your school, youth club or community group involved please contact our fundraising team on 01206 931 468 or email fundraising@sthelena.org.uk
