Santas in a Box

Calling Santa’s Little Helpers! This festive season we invite you and your school to step into Santa’s shoes and spread joy by taking part in a DIY fun run to raise vital funds for Helen & Douglas House. 

Our Santas fun run is free to sign up, you can choose the date of your event to fit with your school’s festive calendar and we simply ask that each child raises £5 to support the care of local terminally ill children this Christmas.

Participating in our Santas in a Box will engage your children in a fun, outdoor fitness activity, igniting their energy and enthusiasm, and teaching the importance of being well rounded, charitable, and empathetic, all whilst supporting a magical Christmas for other children. 

Our Santas run is no-fuss fun, we know this is a busy time of year for you, so once you’ve filled out the form below to sign up, you’ll receive a call from our dedicated Community Fundraising Managers who will answer any questions you have, provide support, and send out all the materials you will need for this festive fun run.

Headteacher of the Glory Farm Primary School about their Santas in a Box experience

‘We ran it last year and it was very easy.

Everything gets delivered to here, it’s no extra work for anybody. There was competition, but also it was accessible to all.

The children absolutely love a medal!

They hear about the word “hospice” and it’s getting them to understand that actually they’re supporting families and children for a good length of time, not just for a short amount of time. So the children enjoyed that aspect as they like raising money for other children.’

Step into Santa’s shoes and spread joy this Christmas for local terminally children

Twin Roman was born with a rare genetic heart condition in March 2019. Despite being given only weeks to live, he spent his first and last Christmas at home with his family thanks to our emergency lifeline of care.

‘It felt like a miracle as we got everything we wanted for Christmas. Our twins, Roman and Harley celebrated and opened presents together. Thanks to the lifeline of Helen & Douglas House,we had the perfect day.’  Ellie, Roman and Harley’s Mummy
