Regular ‘Dashers’ are encouraged to wear again any Santa suits they may have saved from previous years - and anyone who would prefer to dress as a di erent festive character is welcome to do so! Decorated pushchairs and buggies are welcome, as are mobility scooters. If you are bringing your dog, feel free to dress them up - but short leads are a must. e Oakhaven Santa Dash will start and nish in Lymington High Street, outside the event’s headline sponsor, John D Wood & Co. Kat Mitchell, Head of Lettings at John D Wood & Co, said; “We are looking forward to kicking off the Christmas countdown again this year with our sponsorship of Santa Dash 2025 - arguably the most fun day of the festive period! A fantastic day for a wonderful cause that we, and the whole town, are proud to be a part of.” Jill West, Fundraising Manager for Community and Events at Oakhaven Hospice, said; “We are very much looking forward to our 16th Santa Dash and would like to thank our event sponsors for their support, in particular John D Wood & Co, our headline sponsor for over a decade, and Scott Bailey LLP, our Santa suit sponsor. This year, we hope our Santa Dash will be bigger and better than ever. Oakhaven needs your support more than ever, whether you take part in the fun run, sponsor a Santa Dasher or come along on the day to cheer on the Santas. This year we are introducing three special wooden trophies that will be presented to the Top Corporate Fundraiser, Top Fundraising Team and Top Individual Fundraiser. Sponsorship forms and links to set up a Justgiving page can be found on our website, or contact our fundraising team for assistance. Oakhaven provides hospice care free of charge and every penny raised helps our specialist team to make every moment matter for local families at the most difficult of times.” All funds raised by the Santa Dash will help to fund Oakhaven’s day-to-day running costs, which last year amounted to £9 million. With only 11% of funding covered by the NHS, your local hospice relies on kind donations, fundraising, gi s in wills and income from its charity shops and home care provider, Oakhaven Care Ltd, to cover the remaining 89% of costs.
