Wear Red for Wales and Velindre is back for 2025!

Who are you wearing Red for?

Our annual Wear Red for Wales and Velindre campaign, proudly sponsored by Peters, is returning on Friday the 31st of January 2025 and we need your support!

This fun campaign invites schools, businesses, and individuals across Wales to wear something red and donate £1 to support Velindre and cheer on our international rugby teams as they kick off their opening Six Nations match.

By taking part, you’ll help raise crucial funds and awareness for the charity and the vital work we do for cancer patients and their families across Wales.

Wear Red. Donate £1. Make a Difference.

This year, we want to know: Who are you wearing red for?

Whether you’re wearing red to honour a loved one, to thank Velindre staff, or to improve the lives of cancer patients in Wales—whatever your reason, we want to hear it!

You are helping us make a difference!

By participating, you're helping us make a real difference. Last year, our Wear Red campaign raised an amazing, record-breaking £80,000 for Velindre! These funds allow us to continue supporting impactful projects at the cancer centre, from specialist nursing roles to groundbreaking clinical trials. None of this would be possible without the dedication and generosity of our amazing fundraisers.
