Rudolph Run 2025: dash, donate and make a difference

By participating in the Rudolph Run 2025, you can make a meaningful difference in the lives of those needing care during their most vulnerable moments.

We are asking all our supporters to raise £108 per person for this event.  £108 can provide two hours of overnight care, whether in our inpatient unit or in a patient’s home, offering vital support and comfort throughout the night. This ensures that no one feels alone, even during the darkest hours.

Your involvement in this festive event helps bring hope and compassion to individuals and families when they need it most.

Lace up, join the Rudolph Run, and help light up someone’s night with care.
