Following the success of our first ever ‘Elf Toddle Walk’ fundraising event last year for Children’s Hospices Across Scotland, (CHAS), we’re really excited to be hosting it again on Sunday, 19th November at 9am!
Over 150 little elves took part last year dressed top-to-toe in elf outfits, and adults too, and completed a one-mile lap around The Centre, Livingston, led by Santa’s elves, raising over £5000 for the charity, which provides the country’s only hospice services for children and young people with life-shortening conditions.
The charity has been providing full family support, including medical care and emotional support, for over 30 years and is committed to ensuring that no matter how short their time may be together, it is a time filled with happiness and fun.
This year we’re planning to do it all over again!
To help get the toddlers get on their way, there will be entertainment by acrobatic elves getting up to mischief and Christmas tunes by Go Radio’s afternoon presenter Gina McKie and Floorfillerz presenter, Stevie Lennon, who will be joining in the fun, light warm up.
On completion of the walk, all children will receive a commemorative wooden keepsake medal and a special Christmas treat.
The event entertainment begins at 8.30am on Sunday, 19th November ahead of the Elf Toddle Walk starting at 9am. Tickets are £5 per child, with all proceeds going to CHAS,which can be booked here.
Once registered, a Christmas goody bag with a personal walk number and elf hat can be collected from the Customer Service Desk at The Centre, Livingston between the 31st October and 18th November, with proof of ticket, to enable participants to take part on the day.
Please download the CHAS sponsorship form here if you’d like help raise more funds for the charity by getting family and friends to sponsor you on the Elf Toddler Walk.
Dressing up in your favourite festive attire is encouraged!
