Put the ‘fun’ into fundraising
Why not use your time on the trail to make a difference by asking friends and family to sponsor you to complete it!
By pledging to become a ‘Trail Champion’ you’ll take on the challenge of finding all 96 big and little Peter Rabbit sculptures across Newcastle and North Tyneside. You can either create your own online fundraising page or go old school by downloading our trail sponsor form. Then it’s as simple as grabbing your map or downloading the app and getting started!
You could ask people to donate a set amount to complete the full trail or per Peter Rabbit that you find. Setting a fundraising goal will give you focus and each time you spot a sculpture, you will know you have got that bit closer to doing something special in support of local people at a difficult time.

Create your online fundraising page
It’s so quick and simple to do and you can personalise it suit your challenge.
Then just share the link with friends and family, with the added bonus that all the money you raise will come straight to the hospice and be put to good use.
Download your sponsor form
Gather your sponsorship pledges on this paper form which you can print at home.
Make sure to check if any of your sponsors are eligible for Gift Aid, as that will mean we could claim and extra 25p for every pound donated, at no cost to you.
Get the trail app
Download the trail app to help you navigate your way around Newcastle and North Tyneside.
The best thing is, every time you find and ‘unlock’ a large sculpture using the 4-digit code on their plaque, you have the chance to reveal a special milestone or reward!
Get the trail map
Printed versions of our trail map and sticker book can be found at Trail HQ at the space by St Oswald’s Hospice in Ouseburn, as well as St Oswald’s Hospice shops in Gosforth, Whitley Bay and Jesmond.
How your fundraising will help
Did you know that it currently costs £12 million per year to deliver the range of care services at St Oswald’s Hospice, and around half of this needs to be raised through charitable giving.
Many people also don’t realise that the hospice makes no charge for its range of service.
As a local charity rooted in the North East, St Oswald’s Hospice relies on the generosity of its supporter community to enable them to care for local people and their families, when they need it most. By fundraising as part of the trail, you will be an important part of our family of supporters – thank you.
