About The Santa Fun Run
DECEMBER 2024
Secure your school’s place on Santa’s nice list by signing-up to take part in our Santa Fun Run. Dash through the playground with the children to bring in some festive cheer and raise money to support Your Local Air Ambulance Service.
Choose to walk, jog or run with your students, choose a distance to suit you and complete your Santa Fun Run in December.
Register and you will receive Santa headbands* (pictured here) for your students to decorate, a fundraising pack with lots of useful items to aid your fundraising and access to downloadable items to make your fundraising a festive success.
There’s no minimum sponsorship required but we suggest each child donates £1 to take part.
Help Us Save Lives
Over the past 20 years, The Air Ambulance Service (TAAS) has attended over 50,000 missions.
We fly two local air ambulance services – Warwickshire & Northamptonshire Air Ambulance (WNAA) and the Derbyshire, Leicestershire & Rutland Air Ambulance (DLRAA). Our critical care paramedics, doctors and pilots attend an average of ten rescue missions a day and can be on the ground within minutes, delivering lifesaving care to give patients the very best chance of survival and recovery.
We receive no government or National Lottery funding for our lifesaving missions and rely entirely on voluntary donations to raise the £2,300 needed for every mission.
Support our work by taking on a fundraising challenge today and become our latest lifesaver.

Frequently Ask Questions
Is there a sign up fee and a minimum fundraising target?
There is no sign-up fee to take part but we do ask that each student makes a suggested donation of £1 to take part. The School can collect the donations to send in to us at the end of the event. We have provided sponsorship forms for the children to take home, so their friends and family can support them too, if they’d like to.
Any time you like during the month of December, or earlier if that works better for the school.
How many headbands can we request?
You can request the amount of headbands required for your class. Our stock is limited and the headbands will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.
