Recipe Swap
Are you and your buddies always competing with who makes the best cake, or Sunday dinner or even the best mojito on the weekend? Do you want to turn your creative skills into a fundraiser for the East Cheshire Hospice? Then we have the challenge for you!
Set you, your friends and family the challenge of creating something new in the kitchen every week for a month… Or two! Pick a new theme each week such as…
- Roast dinner
- Pie
- Chilli Con Carne
- Birthday cake
- Cheesecake
- Or even cocktails!
Vote for your favourite recipe (you can’t pick your) and you will have a winner every week! The winner could share their recipe for everyone to enjoy their creation. Ask for donations to be part of the competition or to buy a portion of the culinary master pieces each week.
This can become a regular fundraiser or a one-off recipe swap sensation!
How do I start fundraising?
The best way to collect sponsorship would be to take cash on the day of the event. We have plenty of collection buckets and pots you can use for your event, please see contact details below of how to get in touch with us.

Taking on this challenge and raising sponsorship for East Cheshire Hospice really will make a difference to local people and their families who are cared for here. The Hospice has to raise over 80% of its running costs from voluntary donation and fundraising, this equates to over £7,500 every single day. Your contribution really will make a difference.

Come Dine With Me Tournament
Ever fancied taking part in ‘Come Dine with Me’?
Why not organise your own come dine with me experience for you and some friends, family or colleagues?
At the beginning of the challenge week each person taking part puts £5 or £10 into a pot that will become the winner’s prize at the end of the week, and each pledge to raise a suggested amount of £100 for us here at the East Cheshire Hospice.
Take it in turns to each host a dinner party cooking a yummy 3-course dinner and providing some fun evening entertainment. After each night, you will all anonymously rate your host’s evening and put the scores into an envelope.
At the end of the week, each person opens the envelope from their evening and counts their total score. Who ever has the highest score is the WINNER!!
This is not only a great fundraising idea, but this can also be a different way to team build and get to know people better.
