Why Your Support Matters
Every pound raised from the event goes directly toward two critical local needs:

St John’s Hospice: Supporting specialist palliative and end-of-life care for local families, helping cover the £680,000+ required annually to keep services running.
The Hydrotherapy Pool Appeal: Bringing us closer to raising the final £150,000+ needed to build a brand-new, life-changing therapeutic facility for people with learning disabilities in Doncaster.
A huge thank you to our event sponsors—Riverside Motors (sponsor of the Christmas Market) and Ison Harrison Solicitors (sponsor of the Santa Dash)—whose generous support ensures every penny raised goes straight to the cause.
