“I’m not a primary school pupil but would like to take part!”
Amazing news. If you’re a slightly older reindeer who would like to take on Reindeer Run for LOROS Hospice, get in touch with our Fundraising team. We’re more than happy to have a chat about everything you need to get started, including how to set up your own JustGiving fundraising page to raise that all important sponsorship.
How much does our Reindeer Run need to raise?
We ask all children taking part raise a minimum sponsorship of £5. All the money you help raise through your Reindeer Run goes towards supporting people living with a life-limiting illness, and their families.
How do we donate the money raised?
LOROS Hospice accepts donations in a number of different ways. If you’d like to donate to the Hospice, you can do so by:
JustGiving
Once you have signed up, a member of our Fundraising team will be in touch to help you set up a JustGiving page that is directly linked to LOROS. This is the easiest way to get sponsorship without having to handle cash. Our team will help you to set up a school JustGiving page where you can easily share the link with staff, parents/guardians and friends and family.
