Story
This winter is going to be different for everyone, and many will find it tougher than usual. South London Cares are working to make sure that older people in Southwark and Lambeth stay connected this winter, by running online social clubs, and matching older and younger neighbours together to stay in touch over the phone.
You can help by taking part in the South London Santa Run, raising money to prevent loneliness and isolation in the local community.
What is the South London Santa Run?
The South London Santa Run is a virtual fun run, where participants will take on a 5km (or more) to raise money to keep older neighbours in their community connected this winter. Everyone who takes place will get a South London Cares t-shirt, a Santa hat and a custom enamel badge!
When is the South London Santa Run?
Runners across south London will be taking part in the South London Santa Run on Saturday 5th December or Sunday 6th December.
Where is the South London Santa Run?
It's up to you! This is a virtual event and can be completed anywhere, although we have some suggested routes in South London that we can share.
How long is the South London Santa Run?
5km! However, if you are an experienced runner and would like to take on a longer distance, you can!
How much do I have to raise?
We suggest setting a target of £100, but you may raise more than this, of course!
Sign up today to take on a festive 5km run!
