Reindeer Run

Can your children help Santa round up his reindeer this Christmas? We're looking for schools, nurseries and youth groups across Kirklees to hold a Reindeer Run and raise funds to help The Kirkwood Support Life.

Our first ever Reindeer Run was a huge success last year. Even in the midst of a global pandemic, The Kirkwood fundraising community came together in huge numbers to create an exciting, fun-filled event for school children across Kirklees to get involved in.

We are delighted to announce that our Reindeer Run is back for 2021 and it's going to be bigger than ever!

To sign up, simply fill in and submit the form at the bottom of this page and we’ll do the rest!

How it all works

The Reindeer Run is all about children having fun as excitement for Christmas starts to build – all whilst raising funds to help The Kirkwood care for people in their local community.

It’s suitable for children of all ages and abilities. The great thing is that you can set the distance, choose the route and even pick a date and time that suits you and your children. Hold it on your playing fields, in the school playground or in the village hall – the choice is completely up to you.

Children help to raise money for The Kirkwood by gathering sponsorship before the run takes place. And as a thank you for taking part, each child will receive a pair of festive reindeer antlers, a bright red nose and a certificate to congratulate them.

What we provide

When you sign up to take part in the Reindeer Run, you’ll get:

Reindeer nose and antlers for every child taking part
Sponsorship forms
A certificate of thanks for each child
We can even visit you to share with the children the difference their support will make
Opportunity for a large cheque presentation with the children
