Supporters blaze a trail at our Firewalk

Our courageous supporters faced their fears to step bare-foot over burning embers at the Hospice’s new Firewalk fundraiser on Saturday 14th March.

Hosted at The Camden Arms pub in Pembury, the ‘hottest’ event of the year saw the community pull together to raise more than £10,000 for Hospice in the Weald.

Katie Greywood, the Hospice’s Director of Income Generation, said: “What an incredible event it was! It was amazing to see everybody put their fears aside and take on this incredible challenge for Hospice in the Weald at this well-loved pub, just a stone’s throw from the Hospice in Pembury.”

Explaining the vital need for fundraising, Katie added: “So far, the Firewalk has raised more than £10,000. This contributes to the £25,000 we need to raise every single day of the year to make sure we can be there for everybody who needs us. That’s to support inpatient care, to support people in their own homes, to provide counselling and Living Well services and to be there for children and young people. Thank you so much to everyone who took part and to all those in the community who supported the event.”
