We were helping the organisers of the Saltford Santa Dash. This year the charities being supported were Jessie May Children's Hospice at Home and Mind.

We were marshalling and directing runners, collecting donations in buckets and cheering on and encouraging the runners.

It was great to see so many people running for charity in their Santa outfits! We were also provided with a santa hat to help us get into the festive spirit!

The event had around 1,000 runners and is expected to raise thousands of pounds for charity!

We had lots of fun and can't wait to go back next year!

We helped the organisers set up the course for the Saltford Santa Dash. This is a fun run that has been held every year since 2013. The fun run raises thousands of pounds for charities each year and we were delighted to be invited to help them prepare the location for the event.

We teamed up with other volunteers to lay out cones along the route, put up signs of sponsoring companies, move goal posts from the fields and put up fencing. This is all in preparation for the run the following day.

After the task were rewarded with a sandwich and a hot cup of tea in the clubhouse. We had lots of fun and enjoy being outdoors getting some exercise. We will be back tomorrow to marshal at the event!
