Reindeer Run & Festive Relay

By taking part in the Dorothy House Reindeer Run or Festive Relay, students will be helping local families facing some of life’s toughest challenges. Whichever event you choose, we’ll provide the resources and support you need to create a memorable experience for your pupils while helping Dorothy House continue to care for local patients and families when they need us most.

Every pound raised supports Dorothy House in providing expert care and compassionate support to people with a life-limiting illness, as well as those closest to them.
