Celebrate the NHS’s 75th birthday by taking part in Walk for Wards, our BRAND-NEW event, comprised of a beautifully picturesque and bespoke 5-mile walk surrounded by the stunning countryside including glorious fields, wildlife, and lakes, before being greeted upon your return with delicious refreshments at the beautiful San Remo café on the water in Black Park as part of your entry.
Who will you walk for? You may choose to walk for a ward who has helped you or a loved one in the past as a way of showing your appreciation, or perhaps walk in memory of someone you have lost to remember and celebrate them!
You may choose to walk the route with your friends, family, colleagues, and furry four-legged friends, as dogs are also welcome! Our event is enjoyable for all ages and for our little walkers, we will have a scavenger hunt for them to complete on their way round the route to keep them entertained and having fun!
Parking is available onsite (charges will apply), as well as toilets to use before you head out as there are no others out on the route. There will also not be a water stop other than at the start/finish, so please make sure you bring a bottle of water with you to drink out on the route.
Our brand-new route is coming soon…

Entry for the 5 mile is £15.00 | Group of 4 Deal: £50

In April 2019 Sebastian was born without signs of life and received life-saving care from the Special Care Baby Unit at Wexham Hospital: “He was born with no cries and no cuddles with Mummy, instead he was immediately hooked up to machines, where he received the best medical care possible by some amazing doctors and nurses. Against all odds, he survived, and is now the most energetic, beautiful little boy! I genuinely don’t think I could ever find words to show my appreciation justice, thank you just doesn’t seem enough! But from the bottom of my heart, I whisper a thank you every day. They are the reason he is here today, so to give back, I fundraised for FHC & raised over £5100” – Samantha
