Raising money for Hospice of the Good Shepherd

Santa Dash 2025 · 7 December 2025 ·

One of Chester's most anticipated December events! Thousands of Santa's taking to the streets of Chester to spread some festive cheer whilst raising money and supporting two local charities, Hospice of the Good Shepherd and The Countess Charity.

Story

Hello everyone,

We’ve decided to do this year’s Santa Dash. Thankfully we’ve now had some proper runners join us… so our team now consists of myself (Rob), Neil, Lauren, Louisa and Amanda. It’s a bit of fun but we’d also like to raise a bit of money for the Hospice of the Good Shepherd. So, if you can give a bit of money, even if it’s just a couple of pounds, it will be much appreciated and help support the fantastic work that this Hospice, and ones like it through the UK, do each and every day… and you’ll get to see at least two (but probably all five) of us, look like idiots for a couple of hours.

Thanks, Rob, Neil, Lauren, Louisa and Amanda.

Hospice of the Good Shepherd provides its services free of charge to its patients and costs £5.6 million to run each year with just 17% of the funding received coming from statutory sources. The remaining 83% is raised from a range of fundraising activities and the support of the generous local community in Cheshire.
