Elf Dash

December 17, 2023

Get ready to make holiday magic at the most elf-tastic event of the festive season! It’s something for the whole family to enjoy while supporting your local hospitals.

During the Christmas season, we invite people across our community to join us for a day of holiday spirit to fundraise for exciting projects that go above and beyond NHS funding.

To help get you into the Christmas spirit, you’ll receive a festive elf hat to wear proudly as you enjoy delicious mince pies, hot drinks and a special visit from Santa in his magical grotto!

In 2024, our community came together to fundraise for the future children’s classroom in the new BEACH Building at Royal Bournemouth Hospital! Every penny raised will help sleigh our fundraising goal to fully equip the classroom with technology to further enhance the patient experience and education for our young patients while they need hospital care.

Elf Dash 2024 was kindly sponsored by United Taxis.
