Community Events In Bournemouth & Poole

Join University Hospitals Dorset NHS Charity for a fun-filled day on Saturday, 28 September to raise funds for your local hospitals at our flagship Walk for Wards event 🚶‍♂️

Participants can raise funds for a ward or department close to their heart by taking part in a 3km, 5km or 10km sponsored walk around the stunning grounds of Upton Country Park and House. Every step taken will support our local hospitals and NHS heroes.

There will be plenty of entertainment and amazing live music 🎶 Plus, our key sponsor Hot Radio 🔥 will be keeping us company throughout the afternoon.

There will also be the opportunity to buy unique handmade gifts from local crafters at a local makers’ market.

Families will be able to enjoy balloon art, face painting and meeting our iconic Gully Bear at the event.

Tickets cost £5 for adults and £3 for children and in the spirit of fundraising and enhancing our hospitals together, we are encouraging all participants to put their best foot forward and raise what they can through sponsorship for a ward or department of their choice.

Gates open 10:30am

Walk commences 11:00am
