From grand openings to generous donations and creative events, our supporters have once again shown amazing commitment to The Prince of Wales Hospice.
Here are just some of the highlights:
37 Walkers Raise Over £10,000
On 20 September, an incredible group of 37 walkers, aged from just 9 to over 80, braved relentless rain to complete the 20-mile North Wolds Walk in memory of three amazing women: Helen Wood, Claire Stephens, and Danielle Green. United by friendship and a shared mission to give back to the Hospice that cared for their loved ones, the group smashed their original £500 target, raising an astonishing £10,215 (with donations still coming in!). Their efforts could fund over 20 days of specialist patient care, providing comfort and dignity to those who need it most. Thank you to everyone involved for turning a wet and windy challenge into a heartfelt tribute and a lasting impact.
THAT Pilates Place – Grand Opening Support
At the grand opening of THAT Pilates Place, founder Daisy Campbell chose to support our Hospice in a very special way. Having a personal family connection to the care we provide, Daisy has decided to fundraise for us through her new reformer Pilates studio. Thank you, Daisy!
Darts & Dominoes League – £10,000 Donation
A huge thank you to The Prince of Wales Hospice Darts & Dominoes League! Their latest, incredibly generous £10,000 donation brings their total support since 1993 to a staggering £154,662.90!
