Ready to turn up the heat for a good cause?
This autumn, we’re looking for fearless fundraisers who are willing to walk barefoot across burning embers at our Firewalk event – all to raise vital funds for hospice care.
The thrilling charity fundraiser is set to take place at Peace Hospice in Watford on Thursday 13 November 2025, from 6.30pm. Suitable for thrill-seekers, charity supporters, or local people just looking to do something extraordinary – the event is open to anybody over the age of 12.
Participants will be given expert tuition by qualified trainers on the evening, before taking on the amazing feat with their bare feet!
“The actual walk itself gave me such an adrenaline rush! I found that I wasn’t even thinking about what I was doing, I just thought about why I was doing it and that got me across those coals!”
Bring your friends and family along!
Fire walkers won’t be facing the flames alone as participants are invited to bring along their own cheer squad of friends and family to encourage them across the coals. With plenty to keep everyone entertained on the night; from food stalls and music to live fire-themed entertainment; it’s set to be a night to remember for all.
The Firewalk is open to everybody over the age of 12 (under 18s will need to gain consent from a parent or guardian before they can take part). Early bird tickets are currently available at a cost of £20 per adult and £15 per child until the end of September (then £25 per adult and £20 per child).
Fire walkers are being challenged to raise £162 per person. This could pay for one of the charity’s Healthcare Assistants for a day – to provide compassionate, hands-on support to patients by assisting with personal care, promoting emotional wellbeing, and helping with daily activities either at our Inpatient Unit or in a patient’s home.
“We’re excited to be inviting local people to step up - literally - and spark change with every step by taking part in this exciting fundraiser. We know that running marathons or organising cake sales might not be everybody’s cup of tea so we’re always looking to introduce new and varied fundraising events to make sure we’re offering something for everybody.
No experience or preparation is necessary as full training will be given on the evening. So this event is ideal for anybody who wants to do something big to make a difference, without months of training.”
Heartfelt thanks to our long-term supporter, Origin, for sponsoring this event – enabling us to raise even more funds for our vital services.
