On Friday, 27 March, 61 brave supporters took on our all-new Firewalk challenge, raising more than £20,000 to help fund care and support for local people living with incurable illness and their loved ones.

View our Facebook album to relive the excitement and see our brave firewalkers in action.

A special moment

Our patient Julze and his wife, Rachel, signed up to take on the challenge together. Although Julze became too unwell to walk the fire himself, our team made sure he could still be part of the event.

Rachel later asked our nurses to keep Julze's Firewalk wristband on, as taking part had meant so much to him.

What is a Firewalk?

A Firewalk is a unique challenge where participants walk barefoot across a bed of glowing hot embers.

Led by experienced instructors, it’s a safe and empowering experience that helps people overcome fears, push personal boundaries and achieve something they never thought possible.

Our most recent event was delivered by UK Firewalk, specialists who have guided thousands of people through Firewalk challenges across the UK.
