Group of people taking on Moonlight Walk in 2022

 

On Saturday 30 September 2023, we’re hosting our annual Moonlight Walk – with a brand-new Glitter and Glow theme! 

We’re calling on our amazing community to bring some sparkle to Basingstoke this September by taking part in the sponsored 10k night-time walk. All funds raised by the event will help us to continue providing vital care for our patients and their families across North Hampshire. 

We want our walkers are to wear their brightest and most glittery outfits to light up the night as they walk! We’ll all meet at Festival Place to enjoy music, face-painting and an exciting warm-up, before setting off on the 10k route around Basingstoke at 9pm. At the finish line, there will be refreshments and medals to celebrate. 

Registration costs £20 for anyone over the age of 18, £12 for children aged 11 to 17 and free for anyone under 10. 

Our Events Manager, Becky Legate, said, ‘Events like this are so important to us as an independent charity. We only receive 16% statutory funding to help run our services. Every walker signed up and person who sponsors will make a huge difference to our patients. We’re really excited to welcome everyone to our glitter and glow themed event – it’s looking to be a great night!’ 

We need to raise £14,000 a day to continue to provide free compassionate care for people in North Hampshire who have a life-limiting illness, are facing the end of life or experiencing bereavement, and we rely heavily on our community of supporters to help us do this.
