After pitching a PR proposal to the event’s organiser of St Barnabas hospice to launch their new fundraising event the ‘WAG’ walk I was delighted to come away with a week’s work experience organised for the last week of the Easter holidays.
My next few blogs will follow my day-to-day workings within the charity to monitor my experience and for my own personal records to analyse what I have learnt.
Firstly, I will fill you in quickly on what the charity does; St Barnabas Hospice is a Lincolnshire based charity that cares for patients with life threatening illnesses in their hospices. St Barnabas relies on fundraising and donations for its ability to run their charity and services.
They hold fundraising events at least once a month from sponsored walks, to a quiz night, balls, midnight walks and lunches etc. Currently, they are launching two major events the ladies ‘Lipstick and Champagne’ girls’ night out and the ‘WAG’ walk.
The lipstick and champagne night is a girls only night of glamour where ladies will enjoy a sumptuous meal followed by dinner, raffle, champagne draw, entertainment by tribute drag artiste ‘Lily Salvage’ and a disco.
The WAG walk was launched due to a criticism that the charity does not hold enough male only events. The event is a 5mile sponsored walk around Lincoln finishing in the city football club for a complimentary warm curry and a refreshing pint to watch the first England World Cup Match.
These are the events I worked on during my time at the fundraising office.
