Case Study: Salisbury Hospice Charity achieves higher event fundraising and reduced admin time with Blackbaud's everydayhero

Salisbury Hospice Charity Uses everydayhero to raise vital funds

Salisbury Hospice Charity, the only dedicated palliative care provider in its community, cares for almost 1,000 people a year and relies on fundraising to cover a £1.5 million shortfall in annual running costs. The events team runs five main annual fundraisers (including the Midnight Walk) but struggled with time-consuming administration and past fundraising platforms that couldn’t automatically create personalised participant pages.

Switching to everydayhero gave the charity cheaper, easy-to-use tools to auto‑set up personalised pages, add motivational messages, and reduce admin time—plus hands-on support from the everydayhero team. The result: more funds raised (notably increased income from the Midnight Walk), less time chasing participants, and more staff time focused on core fundraising and care.
