IT'S EASY... OR IS IT? Take the Lose the Booze challenge this January. START on a date that suits you, and swear off alcohol for a month to feel healthier, test your will power and to raise vital funds for St Peter's Hospice.

HOW YOU CAN HELP.  

1. Give up alcohol, but don't stop being social. When your friends and family offer to buy you a drink, ask them to donate the cost of that drink to your Lose the Booze fund instead. Collect the money on the spot, or ask them to text a donation directly to your Just Giving page (you can activate this feature when setting up your Just Giving page. Please email community@stpetershospice.org if you would like any assistance with this). 

2. Everytime you think about having a drink, make a donation to your Lose the Booze fund. Pop a few quid in your collection box (we'll send you one when you sign up) or make a donation directly to your Just Giving page online or via text giving).

3. Chronicle your going dry journey by sharing regular updates with friends and family on Facebook and asking them to sponsor you. Be sure to let them know how the challenge is going (we recomend weekly updates) and also ask them to support your efforts by sharing a link to your page or the text giving details to make it as easy as possible for them to make a donation.

4. Are you a member of a club, group, association or do you work as part of a team and want to take the Lose the Booze challenge together? That's a great idea! Setup one Just Giving page for the whole team to share and see how your team does against others around Bristol.

EVERY POUND COUNTS.

 * £61 pays for a Healthcare Assistant from our Hospice at Home team to spend 4 hours with a patient in their own home, providing excellent care and giving a carer a break. 

* £116 covers the cost of a Mattress Hygiene cover which are used regularly in our Inpatient Unit to help control infection
