On Sunday 23 April, more than 200 people gathered at Farleigh Wallop Estate to take on a 5.1-mile walk in aid of our patients and their families.
Sponsored by local business Juniper Research, the walk took place in the exclusive grounds of Farleigh Wallop Estate. Walkers were treated to sights of the Hampshire countryside, including bluebells.
The event, which takes place every year, sees walkers take on the challenge, while raising funds for us.
Events Manager, Becky Legate, said, ‘Thank you to everyone who took part or supported our Walk for the Hospice event. It was lovely to see so many people from our community come together to help us provide vital care for our patients. Well done and thank you!’
At the finish line, supporters stopped for refreshments and raffles – raising extra funds for the charity. Several local businesses and organisations helped to make the day possible, from keeping the walkers safe, to donating cakes and refreshments.
As an independent charity, 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, so rely heavily on our community of supporters to help them do this.

Thank you to all our wonderful volunteers and local businesses who helped make the event possible!
