The Shooting Star Children's Hospice, in Hampton Hill, provides care, support and advice for children and young people with life-limiting conditions. These care services are offered free of charge to the children/ young adults and their families, 365 days a year across the western half of London and north Surrey.

What was needed

Shooting Star ran a successful Three Parks Challenge - a 3 mile, 8 mile and 15 mile walk through the 3 Parks within the Richmond Borough. This event was open to the public and was a surprising success.

The charity wanted to give local businesses the chance to contribute to a locally based charity and network with other local businesses. The event was run on the last Summer Sunday, in order to differentiate it from the general public Spring event. 

What we did

We worked with Shooting Star to co-ordinate their first Autumn Networking Three Parks Challenge in 2009. Which included:

• setting up the website page
• registration documentation and process
• Just Giving registration page
• co-ordination of all walkers registration, communication and information for the day
• event planning and implementation on the day including after-party for the walkers

In addition to the Challenge, we provided training to their marketing staff, helping to develop specific tools for their unique fund-raising needs.

What they said about our work

Carolyn put her tangible energy and considerable expertise into helping us plan and manage a successful charity fundraising event. 

She brought a fresh, no-nonsense approach to the task and produced a truly professional result, carefully considering how best to maximise the Shooting Star brand message at all times. 

Revelation Marketing added genuine value, for which we are very grateful.
