Wear Red Day

Wear red in Feb for CHD!

We’re turning the region red for our flagship fundraiser Wear Red Day! Show your support of congenital heart disease and Children’s Heart Surgery Fund by wearing something RED in February 2027! (We’re celebrating on Friday 26th!)

What is Wear Red Day?

What it says on the tin! We ask for everyone to raise money by wearing something red. Whether that’s wearing red socks, a jumper or going ‘all out’ in a crimson costume! Get your family, friends and colleagues fundraising during Heart Month this year. In 2027 we’re celebrating on Friday 26th February but you can take part on any day in February!

It’s about raising funds and awareness



Wear Red Day is a fantastic annual event that generates vital, life-saving income for our charity to support the Leeds Congenital Heart Unit, it’s patients and their families. From red raffles and bake sales, to getting your whole school or workplace involved, what could you do to raise some extra £££’s for CHSF this Wear Red Day?
