Events

Whether you’re taking part in an organised event or hosting your own, working towards a specific date can be rewarding and motivating as a goal.

As our charity grows we will add more events to the calendar but here are some dates for your diary.

NHS Big Tea

This fundraiser takes place on the 5 July every year to mark the birthday of the NHS. In 2026 the NHS will turn 78 so help us celebrate and host a tea party at work, home or your local community. Add a raffle, auction, book sale alongside some yummy cakes to spice up your event. There is no registration fee so get ready to get your bake on.

Croydon NHS Christmas Jumper Day

The event takes place in December each year and is a great way to get into the festive spirit. Just don a jumper and text FESTIVECROYDON to 70085 (£5 donation plus cost of one message)

Challenge events

We’d love you to challenge yourself so if you have your own place for an event, get in touch and we’ll provide personalised fundraising support as well as fundraising materials including sports vests and collection tins. Team Croydon fundraisers with their own places can raise as little or as much as they like as there’s no sponsorship target.

London has some of the most iconic events in the world, including the infamous London Marathon, London to Brighton cycle ride, Swim Serpentine and London Landmarks Half Marathon.

Please get in touch if you would like to take part in any of these of other events to fundraise for the Croydon Health Charity, to make a difference to our patients and staff in Croydon. l.ajdukwicz@nhs.net
