Little elves help raise over £10k for children in hospital
A group of local schools had children putting their best foot forward for a charity challenge in December.
Schools across Merseyside and West Lancashire were invited by the MWL NHS Charity to host their own ‘Elf Run’ in the weeks leading up to Christmas. Similar to the traditional Santa Dash, the Elf Run was aimed at getting kids fit and ‘elfy whilst raising money for the charity’s Children’s Fund.
Eight schools opted into the challenge and every child that registered to join in received an elf hat to help them look the part! Each school was free to set their own distance and activity, such as running or walking multiple laps around the school playground or field.
The Elf Run was a huge success and between all eight schools the total amount raised for the Charity was a fantastic £10,184.84! The funds will now go towards supporting poorly babies, children, and young people receiving treatment in their local hospitals.
Huge thanks and well done to all the pupils, staff, families, friends, and supporters of the schools who helped raise this incredible sum:

Natalie Dignam Theatre School

St Augustine's Catholic Primary School
