On Saturday 25th April we held our annual bright and colourful Kolor Dash Newport at Tredegar Park. Over 1,000 runners joined us for a glorious day of fun 🎨☀️

The afternoon entailed a fun-filled 5K run, walk, or jog – with an extra splash of colour! Vibrant powder paint covered the route and lively entertainment stations kept the energy high! With a warm up from Cara and a foam cannon to get the route started - there was something for everyone!

A big thank you to all who joined us, raised vital sponsorship and our volunteers.

Don't forget Kolor Dash Cwmbran returns in August - Kolor Dash Cwmbran | Our Events | Events | St. David's Hospice Care

North to South Wales Fundraising challenge

Aaron and Lee will be completing their 'Big Bike Bash' this June 🚲💙🚲

This summer Aaron and Dad, Lee are taking on this incredible challenge to raise vital funds for two important charities - St David's Hospice Care and Parkinson's UK 

The 'Big Bike Bash' for Keith and Lyn, entails a monumental route of cycling from North to South Wales: from the very top of Wales to the very bottom. Along the way will be lots of hills, challenges and most likely some great British rain but they are determined to take on the miles to make a difference 

There's lots of training in preparation for the ride, alongside important fundraising! We are so grateful to be supported with such an incredible fundraiser and are wishing the very best of luck 👏
