LOROS are over the moon to have been selected as one of the beneficiaries of the Archers Festive Tractor Run this year. LOROS Hospice and Leicestershire MS Therapy Centre will be sharing the proceeds of this wonderful event organised by Archers View, along with Leicestershire Search and Rescue and OurJayFoundation and so all of the money raised will be split 25% each, helping to support many local people benefiting from our services and support. The event has now raised over £50,000 for LOROS over the years!
Grab your friends and family and line the streets of Rugby on Saturday 20th December and South Leicestershire on Sunday 21st December and see this magical trail of tractors lit up travelling through the villages.
Over 100’s of tractors have attended each year over the last few years and they have raised an astounding £50,000 for LOROS since they began supporting us. They will travel through Clifton Upon Dunsmore, Hillmorton and Rugby Town Centre, Lutterworth, Cosby, Whetstone, Blaby, Gilmorton and many more villages along the way.
The organisers are looking forward to “spreading a huge dose of Christmas cheer and lighting up your Christmas with our festively decorated convoy once again!”

Can you help?
We are privileged and excited to be working with the Archers Festive Tractor run once again and are in need of bucket collectors along the route (collecting for 4 charities in total), helping to take donations whilst spectators line the streets to enjoy the Tractor Run.
Dress for the weather as this is outdoors but enjoy the tractor run full of lights, music and festive joy through the streets of Warwickshire & South Leicestershire. You will be met at a pre-agreed location, provided with a high vis and a sealed bucket which is then handed in at the end of the parade. We ask you to move on foot safely through the crowds accepting donations from the public for the duration of the tractors passing by.
