St Peter's Hospice is Bristol's ONLY adult hospice caring for local people with life-limiting illnesses. Our commitment is to improve the quality of life of patients while extending care and support to their families and loved ones.

Story

We are marching to the game, together raising vital funds for St Peter's Hospice.

On Saturday 22 March, we're joining the Bristol Bears for a rugby match that will make a difference for patients and families across Bristol.

Together we'll be completing a sponsored walk through Bristol, along the river, tackling the climb up Nightingale Valley, across the iconic suspension bridge, and through the stunning grounds of Ashton Court. We'll end at Ashton Gate and celebrate together by watching the Bristol Bears V Exeter Chiefs game live!

This is a walk not to be missed. Whether you're walking in memory of a loved one, to support a friend or for some fun and fresh air while supporting a local cause, every kilometre walked will help current and future patients during the most difficult of times.

How your support will help

The nurses just slotted in. They were like old friends. They were completely professional but so natural, it never felt like an intrustion having them there. They not only supported Mum, but me as well."

St Peter's Hospice provide care and support to adults who are living with a progressive life-limiting illness in the Bristol, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset area. They provide care, advice, support and therapy to patients and their families during the most difficult and challenging of times. All care is provided free of charge, so they rely on the generosity of supporters and fundraisers to make their work possible.

Our fundraising provides advice at the other end of the phone 24/7, a comforting hand and a nurse on the doorstep when and where it's needed most.

The Rugby March aims to raise £45,000 in total for St Peter's Hospice, which could fund over 1,200 hours of care from the Hospice at Home team so patients can stay where they are most comfortable at the end of their lives.

Thank you to all our fundraisers, good luck for the walk!
