Looking for a challenge for 2025? Get set for The Oakhaven Walk, sponsored by Pennyfarthing Homes!Taking place on Saturday 17th May, this fundraising promenade along the spectacular Dorset and Hampshire coast is the perfect challenge for the New Year, providing the opportunity to get out and enjoy our beautiful local shoreline with friends, family or colleagues whilst raising much-needed funds for Oakhaven Hospice.

Register today at: www.oakhavenhospice.co.uk/oakhaven-walk
The registration fee includes a technical T-shirt to wear on the day, snacks and water at selected points for all distances, lunch for those walking 26 miles, plus refreshments at the finish line.
Entrants are asked to commit to raising a suggested minimum of £150 in sponsorship for Oakhaven Hospice. All funds raised will help Oakhaven to continue providing palliative care and support to patients and their families throughout the New Forest, Totton and Waterside communities, free of charge.
As well as ten beds in its Inpatient Unit, Oakhaven cares for patients with life-limiting illnesses in their own homes - currently an average of 420 at any time. In addition, thousands of local people receive support and guidance from Oakhaven Wellbeing at the Coates Centre, following the diagnosis of a life-limiting illness, whilst caring for a loved one, and in bereavement.
Oakhaven’s running costs amount to over £8 million each year. With just 11% of funding covered by the NHS, your local hospice relies on kind donations, fundraising, gifts in wills and income from its charity shops and home care provider, Oakhaven Care Ltd, to cover the remaining 89% of costs.
The Oakhaven Walk provides a great way to start 2025 - challenge yourself to train for and participate in a great outdoor activity while supporting a vital local cause.
