A huge thank you from the entire team at Prospect Hospice to everyone who participated, fundraised and volunteered to make our fire walk at the hospice a great success.
Well done to all the walkers who braved the hot coals and absolutely smashed it.
The event has raised a much needed £10,000 so far and counting to help Prospect Hospice deliver free end of life care for our local community. It’s not too late to sponsor a walker or you can donate via our website. Thank you to all of you who got behind your friends, family and colleagues and gave generously towards their sponsorship.
Our catering manager Carl served up a delicious BBQ that helped keep hungry walkers and supporters happy and warm throughout the evening.
Special thanks to:
Imagine Cruising for sponsoring this event.
Covered Occasions Marquees for providing a marquee at short notice and free of charge.
Royal Wootton Bassett Rugby Club for offering the use of their venue for the original date which we sadly had to postpone free of charge.

Thank you to all our volunteers as well as those from Nationwide as we could not do these events without you. Thank you for giving your time to marshal, register participants, put up signs, hand out water or serve food and drinks and in some cases all of the above! We are extremely grateful for your ongoing support for Prospect Hospice.
