On Tuesday 9 December, we will be holding a Reindeer Run to support Farleigh Hospice, our local hospice charity. Children can walk, jog or run, all while wearing reindeer antlers kindly provided by Farleigh (and theirs to keep!).

We are encouraging a minimum donation of £2 per child if you would like to support this event - but any donation, big or small, is hugely appreciated.

Thank you for your support in helping us spread festive cheer and making a real difference in our community.

If sponsors are eligible and choose to add Gift Aid, Farleigh will receive 25% more — at no extra cost to them.

We hope you agree this is a fantastic way for the children to enjoy some festive fun while raising funds for a truly important local cause. Thank you so much for your support!

Farleigh Hospice is a registered charity (no. 284670) which provides hospice care to people affected by life-limiting illnesses across mid Essex. They help patients to live as actively as possible from the point of diagnosis to the end of their life, by providing physical and emotional care, free of charge.

With approximately 40% of their yearly running costs being funded by the local NHS, they rely on the support and goodwill of the local mid Essex community to contribute to the £21,271 it costs to provide their services each day.
