Sponsor an event
If you’re looking for a great way to support us, have you thought about sponsoring one of our fantastic events?
Securing corporate sponsorship helps us to cover the costs of running our events and ensures we can direct all of the funds raised back into the care we provide at our hospices. We have a range of events and sponsorship packages on offer to suit your business. If you'd like to know more, speak to your local corporate fundraiser to discuss the regional or local opportunities available.
Benefits will range depending on the event and the package you choose but could include PR and social media coverage, exposure on our website, volunteering opportunities, free places and attendance at our events and much more. A big thank you to the many businesses and individuals who have sponsored our events and activities over recent years, and those sponsoring upcoming events.

"We got a huge sense of pride from being a sponsor, our clients and suppliers got behind us and we are all agreed we will do it again next year. Children’s Hospice South West made it easy for us to participate and put on a great event, we loved every minute!”
Calendar of CHSW events
January
Swim every day for a month, learn to surf or kayak a marathon. Your child could learn to dive or simply handstand in the pool. There is no challenge or fun activity in the water that is too small or too big, so get those swimming costumes, shorts and wetsuits on and create a splash that makes a huge difference.
February
Do you have what it takes to walk along a path of hot coals, at temperatures of 650C in bare feet? When the fire has burned to red-hot embers it is raked level and prepared for the walk. Participants go to the fire, remove footwear and one by one are invited to walk the coals. Training is provided from UK Firewalk.
March
Jail & Bail is a hugely entertaining courtroom event which sees fundraisers arrested, charged with their crimes (entirely fictitious, of course) and then placed on trial... and found guilty! They will only be released if they can raise bail of £999 from their connections, including friends, family and colleagues.
