Harri's Story

We are pleased to announce that our places for 10Yfan 2025 are now available for anyone who would like to take part. This year marks the 10 th anniversary of 10YFan and we are immensely proud of our association with the event since it’s conception in 2015. We are delighted to offer our continued support and look forward to celebrating the 10 th anniversary of this hugely successful event. 10Yfan has been at the heart of Holibobs since our creation in 2018 and we have seen this event grow in both size and impact, providing vital support for our own initiatives as well as many other charities and causes. The funds raised through 10Yfan have been instrumental in helping us to reach out to more families, offer essential short breaks and holidays, and create lasting memories that make a world of difference to the families we support. Every year, participants come together with a shared goal of making a positive impact, and their enthusiasm and dedication are truly inspiring. We have built strong relationships with many individuals and organisations through this event, and it has become a cornerstone of our fundraising efforts. As we celebrate this milestone, we look forward to many more years of collaboration and success with 10Yfan, continuing our mission to support children in Wales diagnosed with cancer or leukaemia. Our places for 10YFan 2025 are limited and are offered on a first come first served basis. Registration is free subject to a commitment to fundraise a minimum of £250 for Holibobs and each participant will receive a welcome pack which will include a t-shirt as well as other goodies. Please follow the following link to register and be part of something truly special!

We are delighted to share that Holibobs has been shortlisted as a finalist in the Charities category of the Cardiff Life awards for a second year running! Last year was the first time we’d entered these awards and having made the shortlist as a finalist we were extremely proud to then receive a ‘Highly Commended’ from the panel of independent judges, based on our efforts during 2020.  It is fantastic to have been selected as a finalist again this year, alongside 4 other wonderful charities, all of whom are very worthy finalists. We all now have our fingers crossed that we can go one better than last year and be crowned winners in the charities category at the awards, which take place at Cardiff City Hall on 31st March 2022.
