Francis House is holding a new family fundraising event in July - Splash Out!
Belly Slide at Splash Out!
Splash Out for Francis House and help to raise funds for local families. Fun-seekers and families are being asked to dash around a 5k course and slide, jump and climb across five fabulous water obstacles.
The event, in partnership with East Cheshire Hospice, takes place in the beautiful grounds of Alderley Park (Alderley Edge, SK10 4TG) on Saturday, July 6.
Waves start at 10.00am and will set off every 20 minutes until 3pm.
Entertainment, music, stalls, catering and refreshments will be available in the event village close to the start and finishing area.
Francis House supports the families of hundreds of children, teenagers and young adults with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions from across Greater Manchester.
Registration fees apply. Tickets priced at £25 for adults and £12.50 for children (aged 5 to 17 years old) can be booked in advance to secure the preferred wave start time. Alternatively, register with one of the Francis House team on the day.
