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. From sponsoring one of our paint stations at our Rainbow Run, to our £50 Challenge - 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
You could swim every day for a month, or your child could swim a length of the pool. You could learn to surf, or kayak a marathon. Your child could learn to dive or simply handstand in the pool. Whatever the challenge, it doesn’t matter! There is nothing too small or too big, so get those swimming costumes, shorts or 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 650˚C in bare feet?
Everyone taking part will undergo training from UK Firewalk. When the fire has burned to red-hot embers it is raked level and prepared for the walk. Participants go to the fire, remove their footwear and one by one are invited to walk the coals.
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.
April
Coming together to share a cream tea is such a simple pleasure that many of the families supported by CHSW look forward to.
Fundraisers are invited to host a cream tea event to raise funds, supported by decorations, fundraising materials and recipes from the CHSW Fundraising Team.
May
Incredible Hike is a guided 3-day walk totalling 60 miles across a weekend. Every year, we’ll pick up where we left off, walking to complete the South West Coast Path while raising money for children and young people living with life-limiting conditions.
Imagine the adrenaline and thrill of jumping out of a plane at up to 15,000 feet high!
The exhilarating freefall combined with the peace and tranquillity of the parachute ride, makes tandem skydiving a unique and eye-opening way to raise money for Children’s Hospice South West.
June
Rainbow Run in Cornwall is the brightest fun run for everyone.. As runners make their way around the course at RAF St Mawgan, they get covered in different coloured powder paint!
July
Ride for Precious Lives is a unique annual sponsored cycling challenge, which takes over 100 cyclists more than 200 miles across the South West to raise money for short and precious lives. Cycling between our 3 hospices, this challenge raises significant funds each year for CHSW.

RUN Barnstaple is a series of running events on North Devon's Taw Estuary. The flat and fast course makes it an ideal location for new runners or seasoned athletes looking to gain their PB in the following distances: Marathon, Half Marathon, 10k. Starting in 2024, RUN Barnstaple will also be running the Junior Final Mile Challenge encouraging local schools to run miles to raise smiles for their local children's hospice.

Moonlight Memory Walk is an uplifting evening walking in memory of your loved one while supporting families with every step. A chance to join together to remember those who are no longer with us.
The idea is simple; we’ll give you £50 and 50 days to turn this money into as much as possible! How you decide to do this is entirely up to you. It’s great fun and a rewarding way of helping your local children’s hospice.
