Fundraising FAQs

We have so many projects that can benefit from your support, so keeping your fundraising as general as possible helps us direct funds where they are needed most. 

However, we understand that you may want to raise money to support the ward, department or hospital that means the most to you.

Email us at fundraising@cwplus.org.uk if there is a specific area you would like to support and we will do our best to accommodate your request, although it might not always be possible.

From start to finish, our team wants to help make your fundraiser a success. This includes:

  • Access to resources filled with hints and tips to get you started
  • A CW+ T-shirt to wear during your fundraiser
  • Promotional materials such as posters and collection tins
  • One-to-one support from a dedicated member of our fundraising team

Depending on how you raise your funds, there are various options available to you:

  • Fundraising page. Most Enthuse and JustGiving pages are connected to the CW+ charity, so the money will come directly to our accounts without you having to do anything!
  • Donate via our website, specifying the fundraising activity/event the money was raised from.
  • Bank transfer. We are happy to send over our bank details for you to transfer your raised funds directly.
  • Cheque. We can receive cheques in the post. These should be made out to CW+ or Chelsea and Westminster Health Charity. Our address is:
    Unit 4 Verney House
    1b Hollywood Road
    London
    SW10 9HS
  • Cash. We would recommend banking any cash and donating this either on our website or via a bank transfer. Please do not send cash in the post.
  • We know there are various other platforms and ways to collect donations; just let the team know at fundraising@cwplus.org.uk and we’ll support you in paying in any money you have raised.

We love to share stories of our fundraisers doing amazing things! Ask the team at fundraising@cwplus.org.uk, ensuring you have shareable photos and are able to provide further information about your activity and connection to CW+.

Anyone and everyone! If you have a connection to Chelsea and Westminster NHS Foundation Trust, we would love to have you on team CW+, whether you are:

  • a staff member in our Trust
  • a friend or family member of staff in our Trust
  • a current or past patient
  • a friend or family member of current or past patients
  • a school

  • someone who lives locally
  • anyone interested in or inspired by the work of our Trust

We would love to hear from you! If you have any questions, please email fundraising@cwplus.org.uk.   

We’re incredibly grateful for your support in raising funds for CW+ and our hospitals – remember, every little helps! If you’re struggling to meet your fundraising target, please let us know as we can assist by providing fundraising tips, materials and more.

For those taking part in one of our challenge events with set targets, we establish milestones to help you stay on track. If you’re finding it difficult to reach a milestone or the final target, please contact us as soon as possible. We’ll do everything we can to support you in achieving your goal.

To note: If milestones aren’t met, we may need to review your participation. These funds are crucial, not just for covering event costs but also for ensuring we can plan and deliver maximum impact for patients and staff at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.

Depending on the type of event you are organising, there might be further legalities for you to take into account:

Raffles

  • Sale and draw of tickets normally happen on the same day/night; you’ll need a licence if tickets are to be sold in advance. We can help with any questions you may have on this, or you can refer to the Gambling Commission website. 
  • Tickets must all be the same price.
  • You must draw the winner(s) before the end of your event.
  • Tickets can only be sold to people aged 16 or over.

Collections

  • To collect money in public places such as high streets, you might need a street collection licence from the local authority. Find out more about licences on the gov.uk website.
  • To collect money on private land, such as in shops or at Tube stations, you will need permission from the manager or landowner.
  • Let the fundraising team know and they can provide you with a letter of authorisation, and collection tins.

Risk assessments

Check if you need to complete a risk assessment, considering first aid and safety, or whether you require public liability insurance.

We are unable to underwrite the cost of your event or be directly responsible for organising it.
