Walk for Life is a firm favourite with all the family. Choose between two scenic routes, taking in the peaceful towpaths of the Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation. Enjoy a leisurely 12km ramble from Paper Mill Lock or a more demanding 24km from Heybridge Basin.

Farleigh Hospice is a registered charity (no. 284670) which provides hospice care to people affected by life-limiting illnesses across mid Essex. Since being established in 1982, our hospice and our team of healthcare professionals has grown and evolved to meet the changing needs of the community we serve.

All of the services we provided are available for the people of mid Essex, completely free of charge. With approximately 38% of our yearly running costs being funded by the local NHS, we rely on the support and goodwill of the local mid Essex community to contribute to the £16,500 it costs to provide our services each day.
