At your next big occasion why not ask people to make donations to the Hospice instead of giving you personal gifts.   Whatever the occasion you can celebrate with the Douglas Macmillan Hospice, knowing that your donation gifts to us will make a real difference to the lives of people facing a life-limiting illness.

Celebration  Donation Envelopes

If you would like to request donations instead of gifts at your next special occasion, then contact the fundraising department to request your personalised celebration donation envelopes for your guests to put their cash or cheque gifts into.  You might like to send the envelopes out with your invites to your event or place them on the tables on the night of your special occasion.

Either contact the fundraising team on 01782 344304 or email

Why do I need a donation envelope to make the celebration gift to you?

By ticking the Gift Aid option on the envelope, and supplying their name and address, each donor can increase the value of their gift at no extra cost to themselves.  For every £1 donated giftaid enables the Hospice to claim an additional 25p from the H M R C.

Also, we can thank each of your supporters for their kind gift - if they fill in their details, we are able to write a thank you letter to them.
