Appleby Jersey can’t wait for the FNHC Colour Festival in May. We are sponsoring for the fifth year – and offering a prize to the school with the greatest percentage of pupils taking part.

Appleby Jersey is proud to sponsor the fun and vibrant Family Nursing & Home Care (FNHC) Colour Festival again. We’re also delighted to announce that we will again be awarding a £500 cash prize to the school with the greatest percentage of pupils signed up for the family-friendly celebration on Saturday 16 May!

The Colour Festival is a 1k loop along the beach, with participants walking, running or dancing as many times as they like around the circuit to raise money and awareness for FNHC – all while getting covered in brightly coloured powder. Look out for Appleby volunteers throwing paint from our now-traditional pink and purple station!
