Our patron, Olivia Colman, who has starred in films and TV shows including The Crown, The Favourite and Broadchurch, and impressionist and comedian Rory Bremner, are showing their support by helping us get the word out about our 20th Walk for Wards.
Walk for Wards is our annual sponsored walk at Wilton House. This year’s event takes place on Sunday 6th July.
Participants can walk 3k, 5k, 10k or the new 15k route to say thank you to a ward or department at Salisbury Hospital that is special to them.
It is free to enter the sponsored walk and lunch is also provided. Everyone is welcome to stay and enjoy the Wilton House grounds and live music afterwards.
Money raised by the event helps fund Stars Appeal projects across Salisbury Hospital including state-of-the-art equipment, enhancements to buildings, and the charity’s ongoing projects like the Stars Appeal Wi-Fi and support for patients with cancer.
To date, Walk for Wards has raised over £1.5million, which has helped fund projects across Salisbury Hospital including the Hospital’s first dedicated Breast Unit, a new Children’s Unit, Cardiac Suite and family accommodation on the Neonatal Unit, as well as state-of-the-art equipment such as additional MRI and CT scanners.
Over 1,500 people have already registered to take part. Walkers are asked to sign up in advance and commit to raising at least £20/£50 sponsorship per person (route dependent) for their chosen ward or department at Salisbury Hospital.
