PPBF launches ‘Host a Night’

PPBF launches ‘Host a Night’

We are delighted to officially launch our ‘Host a Night’ mini campaign, packed with fundraising ideas to support our compassionate housing: Aggie’s Burrow and Isaac’s Pad. Both flats are a lifeline for local families with a premature baby or poorly child needing off-island treatment, and we’re encouraging our community to have a good time, for a good cause.

Safeguarding the future of our flats is a financial priority. Funds raised during public or private events make a big difference as donations go towards the running costs needed to keep our flats open for families during difficult times.

‘Host a Night’ is designed for those wanting to host a fundraising event as an alternative to buying individual nights to compliment the Buy-A-Night campaign. Whether an evening event is hosted specifically for the PPBF, or fundraising takes place during an existing date in the diary, every night counts.

Who can host a night?

The beauty of Host a Night is that anyone get involved. Businesses, schools, social/sports clubs, individuals, pubs, hoteliers and many others can host an evening event to fundraise for the PPBF’s compassionate housing:

• Events of any size – if you have a weekly evening yoga class, a group of sporting buddies, book club or a client dinner, then why not make a donation during your next get-together?
• Pre-existing events – many local events happen throughout the year including live music, theatre shows and festivals. If organisers are keen to support local families, then we would love to be incorporated. We have greatly appreciated donations made during meat draws, Christmas parties and quiz nights.
• Special events – you might like to put an event together especially for our Buy-A-Night campaign. You could draw inspiration from the fabulous Motown night which was held at St James or the ‘Rock the Frock’ dinner and dance for the ladies of Guernsey. If you have an event idea, then we would love to hear from you: info@ppbf.org.gg.

Hosts of Honour

Everyone who hosts a night will be featured on our online ‘Hosts of Honour’ list as a way of saying thank you. A big thank you to Suntera Global, Thomas De La Rue and the Cock & Bull for kindly incorporating the PPBF into their recent evening events.
