Story

We are excited to announce our brand new event for 2024.....a Colour Run!

Our family-friendly fun run will be the most colourful event of the year by far. Kick off the festivities at the start line with a spectacular Colour Extravaganza, giving each participant the chance to throw their own pot of colour powder up into the air to rain down over everyone; their free white t-shirt being the perfect canvas to decorate.

Choose from our 1k and 5K routes and be met by Colour Bandits along the way to cover you in in brightly coloured powder at various intervals.

We would love for you to fundraise at our Colour Run to support patients and staff when they need us most. When somebody you love is in hospital or having treatment, you want to be sure that they have everything they need for health and healing.

You can choose to fundraise for one of our current appeals: Cancer Wellbeing, Children's Appeal, Staff Wellbeing or for the ward or department within our services closest to your heart. Just let us know your preference when you sign up.

Your fundraising makes a vital difference to health and healing.

£52.62 Could provide a bereaved family with a grief journal and a memory box to help create and keep precious and lasting memories of their baby and support their healing journey.

£89.31 Could provide a calming space and a listening ear to people faced with a life-limiting illness and keep our butterfly centre open for half a day .

£131.28 Could support the mental health of children and adults diagnosed with and living with cancer by funding a week of restorative swimming sessions.
