Become a Jessie May Champion
Jessie May is facing a £300,000 funding gap due to rising
costs, uncertain government funding, and a tough year for fundraising.
This is your chance to help
Your Community needs you
In the final 36 hours of our Your Community Needs You appeal, something truly special will happen. People across our community will come together – sharing their pages, reaching out to friends and family and asking for support. These will be our champions.
Together, we’re aiming to raise £300,000 to ensure that children who are seriously unwell — and their families — can continue to live fully, cherish every moment, and feel supported at home.
Because of Jessie May, families going through the toughest of times are given a choice they wouldn’t otherwise have. With care at home, exhausted parents can take a break, siblings can spend time together, and children can be children.
This is more than a fundraiser and we’re more than a hospice at home.
📅 Mark your calendar: 6th–7th July. 36 hours.
What does it mean to be a Champion?
Champions are sent a video and a link to your personal fundraising page and commit to sharing it during a 36 hour window.
10am on Sunday 6th July to 10pm on Monday 7th July
During this 36-hour window, every donation to your page will be matched £ for £. That means a simple act – sending a WhatsApp, posting on Instagram, emailing a friend – can go twice as far in helping your neighbours have moments of everyday joy with their child.
You don’t need a big network – just a big heart and lots of energy. Whether you raise £100 or £10,000, every effort matters.
As a Champion, you’re helping Jessie May to continue to care for seriously ill children at home.
What you’ll get as a Champion
- Your own fundraising page (via Charity Extra)
- A moving campaign film to share
- Downloadable social media, text/WhatsApp and email templates
- Friendly guidance and support from our team
- Real-time during the campaign
And the knowledge that you helped raise twice as much for seriously ill children and their families in your local community.
