Get Ready to Get Messy for a Great Cause! Join Messy Dash with We Are Beams!

by | Feb 8, 2024 | Dartford Charities, What's On?

Embrace the rainbow and cover yourself in glorious gunge at Messy Dash, a brand new fundraising event hosted by We Are Beams.

Fabulous fun for all the family, with every splatter and every giggle raising money for disabled children and their families.

Taking place on Sunday 7th July at Dartford Central Park and full accessible to everyone, participants can toddle, walk, run or jog around the vibrant multi-coloured 5k route.

The course is super family friendly and wheelchair accessible with a shorter 2.5K route too.

There will be messy mayhem at every kilometre, from slime stations and glitter showers so the finish line is a sparkle of glitter and colour!

All proceeds from the event will go towards supporting disabled children and their families through the charity’s vital care support services including Family Advice, Respite Care and Summer Play Schemes.

We Are Beams believe that even children with the most complex disabilities can thrive and reach their full potential with the right support.

The charity supports over 450 families every step of the way through the unique challenges of raising a disabled child. Based in Hextable, the disabled children and young people who access Beams services will typically have one or multiple learning difficulties, complex health needs, physical or sensory impairment, challenging behaviour, Autism or severe ADHD.

Sign up for the Messy Dash today and let the colourful chaos begin!
