Why we need your support

It costs NI Hospice over £21m per year to run our services. Events like the Dragon Boat are critical in helping us fund our service.

Your participation in this event and subsequent fundraising ensures compassionate care for adults, children, and babies in your local area.

How you support can make a difference

  • If your team could fundraise a combined amount of £1,224.50, it it could help towards a series of family support sessions, providing essential emotional support and counselling services for the entire family.
  • With a combined donation of £2,718.50, you could provide funding for 48 hours of dedicated care for a child in our Children's In-Patient Unit, covering Horizon House and their home.
