Over £2,000.00 was raised by schools in the local district, which is absolutely fantastic. We have also received over £2,000.00 from local groups and businesses in our community.

More fun was had on the Saturday of Yellow Week when we held "Simba and Busy's Sponsored Yellow Week Walkies", supporters of the two and four legged variety joined together and walked a choice of 3 routes around Harrogate's beautiful Stray. Everyone enjoyed the walk and we were even happier when £1,500.00 was raised towards patient care at Saint Michael's. Well done every one and lots of wags!! We hope to hold the walkies again in 2007 so look out for the date four legged friends.

Once again a huge thank you to every one who went Yellow in aid of our Hospice - you really are making a difference.

Everyone can get involved – at home, work, church, the gym or school - and help make a difference to our patients.

Here’s our list of ideas – please let us know if you have any unusual ones to add………

~ Wear yellow or pay a fine ~ Bathe in custard ~ Sell “Yellow Sunflower” badges ~ “Custard Pie” or “Wet Sponge” your boss/teacher ~ Abseil down your place of work in yellow ~ Dye your hair or paint your nails yellow ~ Decorate the office in yellow ~ Yellow Coffee Morning, Lunch or Picnic ~ Yellow Raffle, Tombola or Stall ~ Yellow Window Display ~ Yellow Party, Disco or Sing-Song ~ Hold a themed “Yellow Quiz” or Sports Day ~

A Tea@3 event or Wine@9

TEA @ 3 and WINE @ 9 is a chance for you: the public, businesses and groups to get together and raise funds for your local Hospice. So, why not host one, it's really very simple ...

you and your friends or colleagues can get together and share your favourite tipple, be it TEA or WINE and make a donation whilst doing so - you can be as civilised or as wacky and wild as you want!

Let Saint Michael's Hospice Fundraising know about your activity and we will come along and join in where possible.
