Virtual Santa Fun Run 2020

Naomi House & Jacksplace are hospices based in Sutton Scotney, Winchester, that provide respite, emergency and end of life care to more than 600 life limited and life threatened children, young adults and their families from central southern England.

Take part in the south’s jolliest fun run virtually!

Due to the ever changing world we’re currently living in, we are no longer able to go ahead with our traditional Santa Fun Run. However, we’re really excited to be able to offer the opportunity to take part in the Naomi House & Jacksplace Virtual Santa Fun Run instead, anytime during December!

Whether you wish to run with family or friends, we’re here to help you get into the festive spirit!

All you need to do is gather your household running team, select a location and date in December, and we’ll kit you out in fluffy red Santa suits ready for the big run. Run?! Who said anything about running?! You can walk, skip, jump or dance your Santa Fun Run, all you need to do is complete 5k in a festive cheery manner! And we’ll present you with a medal to celebrate your achievement!

Celebrate Christmas in style and support your local hospices this December – sign up to our Virtual Santa Fun Run!

Date: anytime during December!

Blue Monday Quiz Night – Mind Fundraiser

Social Isolation is a way to bring some games, laughter and friends to your living room, while raising money for amazing causes.

Join us on, technically, the most depressing day of the year (the last Monday in January before payday) for our fun filled, blues forgetting quiz!

We’re doing the quiz for 2 reasons. Firstly, I want to bring some much needed January joy to you all! Secondly, I want to raise as much money as I can for the charity Mind (https://www.mind.org.uk). However; I know times are very tough for many people, so if you cannot afford to donate, PLEASE STILL COME! This is just as much about spreading joy as it is about raising money.

Other than the £10 it costs me to put on the quiz, 100% of the donations will be going to Mind, so please give generously.

To sign up to play, please donate to the below PayPal pot (if you can) and then email enjoysocialisolation@gmail.com to let us know you have and so I have your email address. I will email you the details on how to join the quiz a few days before the event.

Cannot wait to see you all there!

Date: Monday 18th January 2021
Time: 7:30pm to 9:30pm
