A HOSPICE that cares for people in South Gloucestershire is asking supporters to share a ‘red lipstick selfie’ to raise awareness and funds for hospice and palliative care services.
St Peter’s Hospice has launched the campaign asking people to help make a difference to those reaching the end of their lives by taking a 'red lipstick selfie' and sharing a photograph to encourage others to take part.
The campaign will kick start on Friday, May 29 where male and female supporters are asked wear red lipstick, tag the campaign in a photograph with #KissMay and send a text with the words KISS29 £2 to 70070 to donate £2.
Jo Gibbons from St Peter’s Hospice said: “We’re incredibly proud to offer care to patients who are coming to the end of their lives in the Greater Bristol area. Although we already have some fantastic supporters, we increasingly rely on finding new ways of raising funds to continue providing the care that we do.
“We hope that all of our supporters get on board with this campaign and share a ‘red lipstick selfie’ for #KissMay.”
Andrea Fragata-Ladeira, CEO of The Care2Save Charitable Trust said: “Hospice care is something that may affect all of us at some point in our lives and hospices need to raise growing amounts of money in order to continue providing the essential care they do.
“We hope the public join us in supporting #KissMay for hospice care. It’s time we declare our support for hospices around Britain to help secure their future.”
