We’ll be walking around Barden Athletics Track from sunrise to sunset on Wednesday 19th June to raise money and awareness for Pendleside Hospice as well as Burnley Leisure & Culture, in partnership with Six Connections!

Sponsorship packs include sponsorship forms and fundraising support, a running vest or t-shirt, supporter bang sticks and a Pendleside snood.
Once registered, another great way to raise sponsorship is to set up a Just Giving page. Using Just Giving is an easy way to gain donations from your supporters without having to handle any cash or paperwork. Donors can also claim 25% in gift aid back from the government, meaning more money for the hospice. This year, Pendleside’s annual running costs are £5.5 million which means every penny counts.
