Ashgate Hospice is offering a reduced entry fee for next year’s Sparkle Night Walk later this month to support people struggling financially due to the rising cost of living. 

To mark the hospice announcing its new headline sponsor, Technique Learning Solutions, it is giving people in North Derbyshire and beyond the chance to sign up for its most popular event at a bargain price. 

Anyone who signs up for the 10km walk through the streets of Chesterfield can register for just £8. 

Ashgate has announced that its annual biggest fundraiser, which sees family and friends come together to remember loved ones and help fund the hospice’s vital care, will take place on Saturday, 1 July 2023. 

The special offer will run in the lead up to Black Friday from 21st to 28th November.

 Alison Ward-Foster, Partnerships Manager at Ashgate Hospice, said: “We’re over the moon to have Technique Learning Solutions on board as our headline sponsor for our Sparkle Night Walk next year! 

“We rely on the generosity and goodwill of businesses like Technique to help us fund our care and we’re incredibly grateful for their support. We can’t wait to work with them over the next year! 

“To celebrate having them on board, we’re offering people the chance to receive discounted entry to the event when they sign up later this month.  

“We hope you’ll join us for an evening of fun in support of patients and families across North Derbyshire.” 

Entry includes a fundraising pack, a medal, a pink Sparkle T-shirt and a pair of bunny ears for walkers to look the part whilst raising vital funds.  

Mark and Sabine Cook, Managing Directors of Technique Learning Solutions, the event’s new sponsor, said: “At Technique we are all about providing the very best professional training in an environment that helps our clients to learn.   

“A lot of time, effort and investment has gone into creating our bespoke learning centres. On a recent tour of the hospice, it was clear that the nurses there are all about providing the very best care in an environment that helps people to feel cared for, comfortable and at home.  

“Our visit cemented the reasons why we are passionate about supporting our local hospice. We are so proud to be main sponsors of Sparkle Night Walk 2023. We hope you will sign up for this wonderful event and help hospice nurses to be there for our community.” 

Ashgate Hospice relies on its supporters to fund £8 million of its income so the hospice can continue to be there for families when it matters most.
