The Saltford Santa Dash was established in 2013 to provide a community fun run and raise funds in support of locally connected charities working with young people. Since then, the event has grown and become a firm favourite with the local community in the run-up to Christmas and has raised over £135k for charity.
This fundraising page benefits the following good causes:
We are a charity providing social and leisure opportunities to children and adults with Learning Disabilities.
We run weekly social clubs, sports clubs and projects. We organise annual holidays and weekend breaks. We arrange day trips and activities.
At Keynsham and District Mencap Society we believe all children and adults with a Learning Disability should be able to access the same play, social and leisure activities as their peers.
We help people to make the most of their lives – to get a little more independence, to build friendships, take part in exciting activities and new experiences.
