Young Fundraiser of the Year 2025

Harli Dixon

“St Elizabeth Hospice helped my Mummy so much, and I want to say ‘thank you’ to the hospice and help raise awareness of what they do.”

Eleven-year-old Harli raised over £23,000 for St Elizabeth Hospice in memory of her mum, Jemma, who died under the charity’s care. Inspired by the hospice’s compassionate care, Harli launched ‘Harli’s Quest’ to raise awareness and funds.

Through events like the Midnight Walk and her own fundraising Dinner & Dance, she exceeded her £10,000 goal, and her remarkable efforts culminated in a total of £23,323 raised for the hospice, while also sharing her story to raise awareness of the charity’s services to help others.

Alongside her dad, Rob, Harli remains keen to support and fundraise for the hospice into the future – even expressing an interest to volunteer when she is old enough to do so.

The judges said "Harli epitomised the very best of our next generation of young people and her commitment, passion and joy of fundraising was clear to see. She is one of those people who make a difference to everyone she meets. Harli should be very proud of what she has achieved and what her efforts mean to those who will benefit from the care the hospice provides."
