Hampshire Hospitals Charity

We're just over two weeks away from our Colour Run in Harewood Forest and we're delighted to announce that we've teamed up with Hildon Water who will be supplying a refreshing bottle of water to all participants as they cross the finish line. The big question is, are you a still or sparkling fan?

Want to take part? There's still time to get involved and get your tickets for this vibrant, family friendly 5k. Visit hampshirehospitalscharity.org to book your place.

Our this week is reserved for the team at Tesco in Basingstoke. The store team provided us with delicious cupcakes which were given to staff at Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust as a thank you for all their hard work.

What's that we see in the sky? Is it... the sun?! It must know our Colour Run is just around the corner and is planning on coming along.

Join in the fun of our vibrant 5km run through Harewood Forest on Saturday 3 August 2024. This family friendly event is open to all ages and abilities and you'll be raising funds for Hampshire Hospitals Charity.
