After the success of last year's walk, which saw 55 walkers, four pooches, a raft of smiles, and a few blisters at the end, our Hospital Charity is encouraging colleagues to join them for this year's Big Hospital Walk - which takes place on Sunday 7th July.

The Big Hospital Walk is a 10km route, starting at the main entrance of Calderdale Royal Hospital, and finishing at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary. The route will take our walkers through some of the most beautiful countryside in our area, taking the scenic, yet rather hilly route from Salterhebble, through West Vale, Holywell Green, and Lindley.

This event is a perfect opportunity to bring together your friends, family, and colleagues to raise funds for CHFT Charity to help enhance the experience and care of patients who step through our doors.

Our Trust Chair, Helen Hirst, who also chairs the Charity took part last year.

Helen, pictured on the walk below last year, said: “Last year, colleagues spurred each other on and made sure that everyone got to the end with encouragement and enthusiasm. I will certainly be taking part again this year, and hope to meet even more colleagues, as well as their family and friends.”
