Story

Woo Challenge week! Thanks for all the support!

The wonderful Woo Fest Community is coming together in January 2025 to complete 7 days of challenges. The individuals pick the challenge they want to and the collective community raise funds for the Hospice, please sponsor us!

What is it?

* 7 days of challenges from Sat 25th Jan to Friday 31st Jan

* Our participants have picked whatever challenge they want to do to be part of the Woo Challenge Week team.

Why?

* As you may be aware, times are hard for hospices for several economic reasons. We want to provide more support to the wonderful St Richard’s Hospice during this critical time who have cared for so many of our loved ones and the community in which we live

* The Woo Fest community is established and full of great people, we think a challenge where anyone can get involved is yet another demonstration of the most excellent people that visit, volunteer or support our wonderful festival

* January is a great time to do something involving fitness!
