About the event

When: 9am, 01 December 2026 Where: Anywhere Cost: Free fundraising resources

Get your school, nursery, group or organisation moving this Christmas by organising your own Santa Run and raise vital funds for Havens Hospices.

A Santa Run is a fun and festive way to bring everyone together while helping local children, adults and families who need our care.

Whether you run, walk, skip or dance your way around the course, you can make your Santa Run as big or as small as you like.

For schools this could fit it within your PE curriculum or as a fun extra-curricular activity in the run up to the festive season.

Every Santa hat and festive jumper worn, every lap completed and every pound raised helps us continue making every day count for local families.

However you choose to take part, the most important thing is to have fun, get moving and help raise vital funds for Havens Hospices.

• Sign up to receive your free fundraising resources
• Pick your own date throughout December
• Decide the distance and route
• Set up a JustGiving page for participants to raise sponsorship, or you could ask for a small donation from each person taking part. We suggest a minimum £2 per child
• Share the letter to parents and carers that we will provide so they can see how their donations will make a difference
• Then it’s time to pick your own outfits – from festive jumpers to asking everyone to wear a Santa hat. We want to make our Schools Santa Run as sustainable as possible so encourage the children to wear something festive or theme it to suit you
