As 2026 is now underway, many people are embracing new challenges for the year ahead. Why not consider supporting Hope House and  Tŷ Gobaith children’s hospices while doing something amazing to raise money for local children at the same time?

From skydiving daredevils to runners looking to beat a personal best, or for those wanting to step out and walk along the beautiful banks of the Llangollen Canal, trek through the Moroccan mountains or beat their fear of heights and abseil, there are a wide range of events and activities already available for people to sign up to.

Alison Marsh, Head of Fundraising, said: “We have been blown away by the support we received from our supporters throughout 2025. From our amazing events such as Eat Cake, our Valentine’s Challenge, our incredible Dark Runs to our raffles and Quality Moments Matter campaign – which raised over £811,000 alone in just 36 hours – the support we have had over the last  year  has been nothing short of incredible.”

Hope House and Tŷ Gobaith children’s hospices support more than 750 local families, and it costs £10 million every year to provide vital care and help children living with life-threatening conditions to live their best life.

“Come January 1st the reality is that we need our wonderful community come together again to help us raise the money we need,” said Alison.

“We have lots planned for the year and to kick start the  year  we have made some brilliant events live for people to sign up to on our website.

“There really is something for everyone, but for those not in a position to sign up to an event just yet but would still like to support us, then you can make a regular monthly gift donation or sign up to play the Hope House Lottery for as little as £1 a week, and you could win prizes of up to £1,000 each week.”
