We are a group of staff who work in Maternity in Southampton, and we want to update the facilties of Labour Ward for the pregnant people we serve. We want to improve the birth environment and offer more to the people we look after. 

Over February, we aim to walk at least 582 miles as a combined total. This is the distance from our Princess Anne Hospital in Southampton to Raigmore Hospital in Inverness - the furthest away Maternity Unit we could walk to! Each of us will be doing our walks individually over the month to respect Government guidelines and social distancing advice. So one person may walk 10 miles in February, and another might walk 100!

On this page, we'll feature updates from our walkers as we walk towards our total. Please sponsor us for desperately needed funds so we can continue to make Labour Ward better. 

At Southampton Hospitals Charity, we bring people together to raise life-changing funds for University Hospital Southampton – the South Coast’s leading healthcare provider. With your help, we can create an impact that lasts for generations - Let’s transform care, together.
