Returning for a third year, it's time for some festive fundraising with DANEMAS.

Running between the 14th - 22nd December 2024, The Dekker Dane (Iain Boulton) and friends will be hosting a daily festive themed livestreams on his Twitch channel including Christmas Let's Plays, Christmas Art, Interactive Quizzes and more as they raise money for charity.

The week of streams will conclude on Saturday 21st December with a marathon all-day let's play and interactive stream with friends from 10am all the way to Midnight.

This year, the event will be fundraising for St Margaret's Somerset Hospice in memory of Michael Saunders, Iain's uncle, who passed away in November 2024.

For over 40 years, St Margaret’s Somerset Hospice Care has been supporting patients, families, and carers across Somerset who are facing life-limiting illnesses.

Fundraising for St Margaret's helps the charity continue providing specialist palliative care to those in need throughout the Somerset region.

In addition to donating through JustGiving, you can also support DaneMas by picking up a festively fancy DaneMas T-Shirt. T-Shirts cost £14.99 with all profits being added to the fundraising total at the end of December.

They're available now until 31st December and can be purchased here.
