Caring for the next generation
Assemblies
We’d love to join one of your assemblies to talk about the vital services we provide to our community. We can tailor our information to the needs of your school. Themes we have covered include the importance of giving, the business of charities and bereavement.
PTA information sessions
We recognise it’s a challenging time for PTAs in raising school funds, but we’re keen to explore ways we can work together. A joint approach is a great way to benefit your school, your students and local families who rely on the free services we provide.
Attendance at your events
Invite us along to your school’s events. We’d love to be involved with your careers fair or summer fete. Our community fundraising team are experts in setting up a games stall, teddy tombola or pop up book shop.
Lesson support or circle time
If you think your children would benefit from smaller group activity. We are happy to lead circle time for primary schools and lesson support tailored to the needs of the pupils in your classroom.
Cheque presentations
You may choose to elect Willen Hospice as your Charity of the year, we know how important planning ahead is and we can also support with PR opportunities, certificates and cheque presentations.
Student volunteering
Your students may be looking for a work placement, DofE work experience or group volunteering, we really enjoy supporting their learning by showcasing the vital work we do in their community.
Bereavement training sessions
Supporting a child who’s experiencing a bereavement or who has a loved one with a life-limiting condition can be a challenge for education providers.
Our children and families team run school bereavement workshops to raise awareness of how grief can affect children and young people. They aim to help education staff feel better equipped to manage these situations, by providing advice and support.
