The shortlisted candidates will be invited to attend an interview at Central FM on 4th and 5th July.  Both couples must attend the interview.  You will be asked to present your fundraising ideas to the judging panel. 

The judges will determine who has come with the most realistic and achievable fundraising plans and the 5 couples they deem to be the best will be selected as the final 5 couples.   Each couple must supply us with a photograph and a brief blog about themselves to be featured on the website of both Central FM and Strathcarron Hospice. 

The Final 

The final 5 couples will take part in fundraising activity from 10th July to 24th July.  All the couples must comply with the fundraising regulations as given by Strathcarron Hospice and will be supported by the fundraising team for advice throughout that period. 

The winning couple will be the couple who have raised the most money for Strathcarron Hospice from 10th to 24th July and have paid all monies raised in by 5pm on 24th July.  We would discourage any couple putting in their own funds to be included as fundraising as no refunds will be offered if they do not win.
