2025 Events

Colour Dash

Our annual colour dash is our best selling event and is going to be back bigger and better than ever in 2025.

Due to phenomenal demand in 2023 and 2024 and the need for a large race space, we will be hosting this year’s Colour Dash at a new location. This family oriented day out is a great way to celebrate the start of the school holidays with superheroes, face painting and entertainment from our very own Cool FM breakfast team, this is a great way to help support children in Northern Ireland living in poverty.

Sports, Community and Schools Challenge - September & October

Our three fundraising challenges are making a return.

Last year we helped schools, community groups and sports groups raise over £300,000. Using our experience, platforms and resources, participants compete to raise the most money over a 4 week period. All participants keep 100% of the money raised and the top 3 fundraisers in each challenge receive a share of a prize pot worth £10,000.

Get involved

• Sponsor any of the challenges by providing the prize pot and showcase your support for local communities in Northern Ireland. This sponsorship can be amplified on air to support any activity.
• Raise awareness of the campaigns by sharing information with your local school, community group or sports team. Places are unlimited for Schools and Sports Challenge!

Mission Christmas - November & December

Mission Christmas will be returning in 2025 and we need your business to help us ensure no child has to wake up without gifts on Christmas Day!

Get involved

• Monetary support helps us to buy gifts throughout the campaign as gaps are identified in each age category and product donations give us confidence to accept more applications in each age group. We would love to hear from anyone who wants to; fundraise (we are happy to help with ideas or inspiration), make a direct donation for your business or offer product that can be gifted to children under 18.
• Organise a gift collection at work and deliver these to Mission Christmas HQ.
• Become a drop off partner and ask the public to drop their gifts to you to be delivered to Mission Chsitmas HQ (in order to be guaranteed an official Mission Christmas branded gift collection box, please let us know by end of July 2025 if you would like to be involved).
• Volunteer to work in our new warehouse in 2025. Places and dates fill up quickly and we hope to have all positions filled by September. Register early to avoid disappointment.
• Operational support during the campaign is always important from joiners to plumbers and engineers. If you would like to offer support for this or any campaign, please do let us know.
