Make a splash at The Whole Hog 2026!

Take on a challenge that will help us change lives across the East of England.

The Whole Hog returns on Sunday 4^th October 2026, and we’d love you to join Team Ormiston Families and get muddy for families in need of your support. Every mile you run (or squelch through) helps children, young people and families across our region feel safe, supported and hopeful for a brighter future.

Signing up to race the Whole Hog (or Boss Hog) for Ormiston Families means you’ll pay just £15 (or £20 if you opt for the Boss Hog).
That’s 70% off the standard entry fee.

We kindly ask runners to aim to raise around £140 to support our work with children, young people and families across the East of England. This is not a condition of entry, and no part of your fundraising is a payment for goods or services.

To help us track and celebrate your progress, we ask that you set up a JustGiving page linked to Ormiston Families.

Your fundraising helps us take early action so families can thrive. Not just today, but long into the future.

Why your fundraising matters

Your support helps us provide specialist services for children, young people and families facing difficult moments, whether that’s coping with separation, navigating the impact of a parent’s imprisonment or finding support after a bereavement.

Every £20 you raise can fund one of our skilled practitioners for one hour, helping a child feel heard, understood and more hopeful for the future.

Together, Team Ormiston Families is aiming to raise £5,000, which is enough to fund 250 hours of specialist support for those who need us most.
