Celebrate with Kirkwood’s 30th Birthday Party Packs

Kirkwood Hospice launch an exciting new Fundraising Pack, with sponsors F&G Commercials, to encourage local people to host their own parties in aid of Kirkwood in their 30th year.

In 2017, Kirkwood Hospice is celebrating 30 years of providing outstanding specialist palliative care, free of charge, for the people of Kirklees. Last week, Kirkwood Hospice commemorated the occasion with F&G Commercials Ltd by hosting a party in collaboration to launch the new Fundraising Pack.

For 30 years, Kirkwood Hospice has provided care and support to adults in Kirklees with life-limiting illnesses.

To celebrate its special year, the Hospice have launched an exciting new Fundraisng ‘Party Pack’, designed and printed by 'Boom Marketing' in Mirfield, to inspire local people to hold their own parties and fundraise in aid of Kirkwood.

Every individual that agrees to host a special Kirkwood party will receive a Party Pack to inspire them to plan and host their event in style. From Cocktail Parties to Birthday and Afternoon Tea Parties, the Hospice team hope that supporters will be creative and are looking forward to finding out people’s ideas!

Each Party Pack is 'packed' full of goodies to help aspiring party planners along the way. Inside each Party Pack is: a history of the Hospice, A4 and A3 posters to promote the party, cake, cocktail and mocktail recipes, stickers, cake flags, balloons and bunting.
