Join Team Fit Feb and support local hospice care

Fit Feb is your chance to join hundreds of others and kickstart 2021 in a positive way whilst raising money for local hospice, St Barnabas House. 

Whether you take part alone or challenge a friend or family member, all you have to do is an hour of physical or mental activity a day throughout February 2021, and get sponsored for doing it.

You can choose any challenge you like, and you can mix it up throughout the month. So, whether you jive, juggle, or jog … row, ride, or rollerblade ... scoot, skateboard or space hop, there’s something for everyone.

Or, if you’d rather focus on your mental fitness, you could meditate for an hour each morning, get lost in a book for an hour before bed, or give up an hour’s TV and tackle a giant jigsaw for a month instead.

How will you be making a difference?

However you decide to complete your hour each day, you can feel good knowing that as well as looking after yourself, the money you raise will help ensure local people with terminal illnesses are cared for by St Barnabas House throughout their journey.

Wendy Bardsley, Fundraising Manager at St Barnabas House, says, “After the rollercoaster that was 2020, there’s never been a more important time to look after our physical and mental health. And by doing so, you can be there for St Barnabas too.

“Raise £35 and you could provide a patient with one hour of physiotherapy; raise £50 and you could pay for two hours’ care for a patient staying on the hospice ward; raise £120 and you could provide three hours of counselling for a bereaved family member.”

Registration is just £5 and all challengers will receive a free St Barnabas t-shirt to wear while completing their challenge. Visit www.stbh.org.uk/fit-feb to join Team Fit Feb today.
