We are delighted to inform parents that Gagle Brook Primary School is taking part in the Katherine House Hospice Schools Santa Run again this year. This is a fun, festive challenge and we hope that the children really enjoy taking part as a whole school event.

More than ever, Katharine House Hospice desperately need the help of our community to ensure vital services continue. It costs more than £4.7m per year to run every element of Katharine House Hospice. This equates to:

£91,217 per week

£12,995 per day or

£541 per hour.

They rely on the local community to help raise money to fund the hospice. Together, they need to fundraise nearly £13,000 each and every day to make sure they can continue to provide their vital care.

At Gagle Brook School we are asking for voluntary contribution of £2 per child minimum for them to take part. All of these donations will then go to the hospice. If you do feel you would like to donate more that £2 per child that would be very welcome.

Our Santa run is going to take place on Friday 19th December 2025.
