Could you help keep our walkers safe at Girls Night Out?
The Hospice's biggest fundraising event of the year is just weeks away and we're looking for volunteers who can help us in some very important roles, including registering people when they arrive, handing out bunny ears, lining the route, cheering and encouraging our walkers on, keeping everyone safe, and welcoming walkers over the finish line with their medals.
To find out more or to sign up as a volunteer, please click here: https://www.girlsnightoutwalk.co.uk/volun teer/

With Girls Night Out just a few weeks away, here's an introduction to the team that makes sure all our walkers are safe and happy.
Whether it’s a question about the route, a query about a sponsorship form or bright idea for a fundraiser, bunny ears and pyjamas are never far from the minds of the Hospice’s Girls Night Out Events Team, consisting of Jenny Smith, Charlie De-Moore and Emma Clements.
It’s their job to make sure all of our walkers have a wonderful time and the nig...ht runs without a hitch. Their duties, to name just a few, are to make sure that everyone stays safe, that there are plenty of T-shirts to go around, enough loos on the night and of course that everyone gets their bunny ears.
Those who are walking with us at Girls Night Out, you will have received emails from them and possibly even phone calls, but if you see them on the night, don’t forget to say hello and give them a wave!
