Reindeer Run 2020 – NOW THURSDAY 10TH DECEMBER!

On Thursday 10^th December we will be holding our annual Reindeer Run in aid of The Chestnut Tree House – our local children’s hospice. This has always proved to be one of our biggest fundraisers, over the years we have raised over £23,000 which is an incredible amount. This year they need our generosity more than ever, with charity shops closed for most of the year and fundraising events cancelled, their income has been greatly reduced.

The children will be bringing home sponsor forms/envelops this week, please could these be returned with any money raised by Monday 14^th so we can give the money to Chestnut Tree House before Christmas.

Every child will be given a pair of antlers and a red nose for the run. It is also Christmas jumper day so they are allowed to wear home clothes with a Christmas theme.

We are all looking forward to a fun day and thank you for your on-going support.
