Hospice Charity Celebration Walk returns for 2023

Friday, 10 March 2023 00:00

This April, join Salisbury Hospice Charity at their annual Celebration Walk.

Get together with loved ones to celebrate the life of someone special.

The Celebration Walk will start and finish at Salisbury Guildhall on Saturday, the 22nd of April.

Walk alongside your community in support of Salisbury Hospice.

Choose from a 5-mile or a 10-mile route, which will take you in and around Salisbury during the golden hours before the sun sets.

Features of the Celebration Walk include an opportunity to light a candle in St Thomas Church and a living medal in the form of ‘Forget Me Not’ seeds, a living reminder of those we sorely miss.

Last year’s walk raised an incredible £15k, and this year, Salisbury Hospice Charity hopes to raise even more.

All funds raised from the walk will ensure we can fund the vital services that Salisbury Hospice provides.
