Community and Events fundraiser Sarah Elvin said: “We always put together a fun Christmas activity for local schools and youth groups.
“It’s designed so organisers can plan around their calendars. We ask them to raise sponsorship to help provide vital funds for the Hospice.
“You choose a date to gather in a location of your choice, like a school field, playground, hall or park.
“It can be as inclusive as possible, so feel free to put your own spin on it.
“It doesn’t have to be a run. It could be a Festive Boogie, Nature Walk or Treasure Hunt. The most important thing is to have fun.”
The Hospice provides sponsorship envelopes to collect donations from friends and family, access to a JustGiving campaign for anyone wanting to fundraise online and the all-important headgear for all participants.
Sarah said: “We can also provide a fun presentation about the run and the Hospice to share with pupils or group members.”
