Leeds Hospitals Charity Launches Double Up Fundraising Event

Community Encouraged to Double Their Exercise in 2026

Leeds Hospitals Charity has announced a new fundraising initiative called “Double Up” set to take place throughout 2026. The campaign invites people across Leeds to increase their usual physical activity and raise funds to support patients at Leeds Cancer Centre.

How the Double Up Campaign Works

The concept behind Double Up is straightforward: participants are encouraged to double the amount of exercise they typically do, whether that be daily, weekly, or at any frequency that suits them. The event is designed to be inclusive, welcoming everyone from experienced gym-goers to individuals new to exercise who want to improve their health.

• Participants can choose any activity and complete it anytime and anywhere.
• By doubling their usual exercise, they help raise vital funds for Leeds Cancer Centre.
• Those who raise £100 will receive a limited edition giant bobble hat as a thank you.

Registration Details

To take part, individuals must register for the event with a £5 fee. Upon registration, participants will receive a Leeds Hospitals Charity t-shirt and a virtual fundraising pack to assist them in their efforts. The charity encourages people to sign up early to prepare for the year-long challenge.

Community Impact

The funds raised through Double Up will contribute to improving patient care and services at Leeds Cancer Centre. By engaging the local community in physical activity, the charity aims to promote health and wellbeing while supporting critical healthcare services.
