Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much
The Nightingale are proud to be such an integral part of the Enfield community and are touched that so many local clubs fundraise for us. Whether you’re part of a sports club, Freemasons, Rotary Club, Church group, WI, Scouts or another group, you can help support the work we do. Some clubs host quizzes, some have donation buckets at their events and some choose The Nightingale as their charity of the year.
Fundraising for The Nightingale not only helps us to provide free services to people who desperately need support at a difficult time in their life but also helps to raise awareness of the services we provide to people who may need them but have not heard of the charity.
In September, Trent Park Running Club reached the ripe old age of 40. To celebrate, they held a 40th Challenge weekend. Teams of 1-10 members and their families and friends ran or walked 40 laps of a 1km course over 5 hours at their home within Trent Park, accompanied by three bands containing members of the Club.
The Club committed to make charitable contributions if the total distance exceeded 1,000km. The teams completed 951km on the day but, the day before, 14 of the triathlon section had swum 67 laps of a lake that they use for their training, adding another 52km to the total. This meant that the Club met its target by just 3km.
As a result, the Club donated £150 to the charity! The Nightingale has been a charity partner of the Club since 2015, and one of the Club’s members is an integral part of our Night Hike Team. The Nightingale are proud to have helped several club members’ families during their most difficult times.

Over the years, Edmonton Rotary Club has supported The Nightingale in pretty much every aspect of what we do. Fundraising, events, volunteering, sponsoring. You name it, they’ve done it.
After Marshalling at Night Hike 2023, they invited us to their meeting for us to speak to their members about what we do, how we can work together in the future and present us with a cheque for £300.

Our Yoga teacher, Saffie, held a 108 Sun Salute with her students. The went through the 12 poses of the Sun Salute a whopping 108 times…in one day!! We are so proud of their efforts to raise £700 for The Nightingale.
The Nightingale has been a grateful beneficiary of The RSA Trust for over 10 years now and there’s many things we would not have been able to achieve without their generosity.
They have been with us for many milestones. Martin is the Chairman of The RSA, Island Village Ltd. and has also supported the charity with his expert advice to develop our shops and relocate the centre to Baker Street. We asked Martin about how this relationship came to be and why it’s so strong.

Community Fundraising Resources
Once you’ve decided on your In Celebration fundraiser, let us know what you have planned because we can supply you with a whole variety of fundraising and marketing materials to help. See below a few of the things available for all of our fundraisers.
As well as a full range of Nightingale branded items available, we can also create and print bespoke leaflets, posters, banners and other items just for you. Plus we’ll be promoting your efforts every step of the way on our social media channels.
Where will the donations go?
The easiest way for you to organise your In Celebration donations is to create a JustGiving Page.
You can include all of your details and information on why you have chosen to fundraise or The Nightingale. The link can then be sent out with your invitations and on social media. It is also a great way of allowing you and those who have donated to keep track of how much is being raised on your behalf. Don’t worry if you find JustGiving confusing, it can be difficult to set up a page but that’s why our expert Fundraising Team is here. We can set it up for you!
