On December 6, 2025, telecommunications company Plan.com is
hosting Santa’s On a Bike, a festive fundraiser benefiting Rebecca’s House
Children’s Hospice. This charity bike ride involves people dressing up as Santa
and riding their bikes through the streets.
The event kicks off at 9 a.m. with tea and coffee before the
ride begins at 10. The riders will journey through the streets before finishing
at Rebecca’s House Children’s Hospice. At the end of the event, there will be
food and other festivities to celebrate the bike ride.
While registration is free, riders are encouraged to donate
to the ride’s JustGivingpage to help the Hospice. The biggest way the event raises money is through
a raffle. The prizes this year are a trip to Vegas, a trip to Iceland, and more.
The raffle tickets can be bought on the day of or online. The raffle will be
drawn on the day of the event. There is also merchandise available for sale,
with the proceeds of the sales benefiting the hospice.
The Santa’s On A Bike event began in 2018. Since then, it
has raised over £295,000 for Rebecca’s House Children’s Hospice. The idea came
from someone who saw it done in the UK, so they thought it could be done to
raise money in this way.
“The support we receive from riders, spectators, donors,
sponsors, and the Constabulary means the world to us, and we can’t wait to
bring everyone together again to spread festive cheer for a fantastic cause,”
said Nicola Patterson, the event organizer and Chief People Officer at plan.com,
in a press release.
Rebecca’s House Children’s Hospice is a part of Hospice Isle
of Man, which was formed in 1983. Since then, the hospice has supported children
who have life-limiting, life-threatening illnesses with respite, palliative,
and end-of-life care.
