Why Let it Glow?

The Shakespeare Hospice is one of the lowest funded Hospices in the UK –

receiving just 5% from Government funding. We therefore rely on the

generosity and support of the local community to help us raise over £2

Million each to allow us to run our services. By taking part in this event

you are helping us continue our vital care in the community and local

surrounding areas.

Fundraising

This year, we ask all walkers to help boost these funds even further by

fundraising just £30 sponsorship for their walk. Our fundraising team are

here to help with any fundraising ideas you may have…or to give you

some inspiration. Here are a few ideas to get your fundraising off to a
