Fundraising for Festive 5k
By taking part in our Festive 5K, you’re helping to make a real difference to the lives of babies, children and adults who need our care.
We ask everyone taking part to fundraise for Northern Ireland Hospice, with a fundraising target of £150 for those joining us in person and £50 for those taking part virtually. Every penny raised helps support our vital palliative and end-of-life care across Northern Ireland.
Everyone who fundraises for us will receive a Festive 5K medal once the event has ended.
