Reindeer Run

Dr Kershaw’s Reindeer Run is a fun festive fundraising activity for children and adults to enjoy. Get in the Christmas spirit!

At Christmas, we ask pupils from local schools and nurseries across the community to don their reindeer antlers to raise money for Dr Kershaw’s Hospice in support of patient care. It can take place on the date of your choice at any time in November or December.

Our 2025 Reindeer Runners raised a fantastic £14,668 – thank you so much to everyone who took part!
