The Donegal Hospice 500+ Club, established in 2004, is a private members club of people and organisations who are willing to subscribe regular affordable contributions towards the running of the Donegal Hospice and the Homecare Services.

Contributions to the club are fixed at e20 per month (e240 annually) and can be made either by (a) standing order from the members bank a/c to the 500+ club a/c at A.I.B. Letterkenny, (b) by cheque made payable to the Donegal Hospice 500+ Club or (c) by cash. Arrangements for delivery or collection of cash can be made by contacting Andy or Margaret at 074 9124356.
On completion of a standing order form or payment by cash or cheque of at least one month's contribution (e20) persons or organisations will be registered as members of the club and be issued with a four digit club registration number. A registration certificate will be issued to all members that will contain their club registration number. On the third Friday of each month a private members draw is held live on Highland Radio (at approx. 2p.m.). Prize monies for these draws will not exceed 15% of monthly income.
Winners are notified and results appear in local press. An annual report is forwarded to all club members in June each year covering all aspects of the clubs activities with draw results.
Registration forms, and additional information, can be obtained by contacting Isobel at 074 9125656, Andy or Margaret at 074 9124356 or May at 074 9121786

In its first operational year the Club has contributed 73,700 to the hospice.
This money goes towards the Donegal Hospice at Knocknamona, Letterkenny and the provision of equipment for the support of the Home Care Services throughout Donegal.
