Fundraising, helping others, having a good time

Want to raise some funds for your Scout Group, whilst helping others and having a good time??

Here’s an opportunity which just pinged into the District Team’s in tray.

The organisers of the Hampton Court Half Marathon have reached out to see if Scouts, Explorers or Adult members would be available to work with them at their Hampton Court Palace Half Marathon race on Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23th March and/or the Hampton Court Palace 10k on Sunday 11th May.

They’d think it would be great to have Scouts involved at their event which starts and ends in Hampton Court Palace.

For the Half Marathon on Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23th March  if your Scouts, Explorers or Adult members volunteer both days of the weekend they will donate £50 to your group or unit for each volunteer for both days.

For the Hampton Court Palace 10k on Sunday 11th May 2025. They will donate £20 for every volunteer .

Roles for the day could include running the bag drop in the event village, running the water station, working on the finish funnel handing out medals, water and snacks, just to name a few.

If Leaders would like to discuss further with the organisers , they’d be please to talk details and look forward to hearing from you.
