One of my favourite fundraising events… our “Men’s Walk to Support”… an opportunity for men (500+ today) to come together in support of the hospice but with an emphasis on creating opportunities to talk about friends, family and loved ones who have died!

It’s been a busy week with radio interviews, presentations to our amazing supporters & donors and the usual busyness of the day job BUT a real treat to end the week with a Zip Wire, 150ft up in front of Bath’s Royal Crescent! It’s there all weekend if you’re in Bath!
