For those that know me, they will know we lost our Sister Tammy nearly 9 years ago and last year Dad passed. Pendleside Hospice provided fantastic support to them and our family in the hardest of times. I only hope we can all receive such good care in our final days. The services they provide help make our journeys as comfortable as they can be, so I’m taking part in the Pendle Pub Walk 2026, a 13-mile circular walk through Pendle’s beautiful countryside, to raise vital funds for Pendleside Hospice. Please do what ever you can to support. Thank you.

Now in its 17th year, this much-loved community event brings together over 2,000 walkers, using local pubs as friendly way-points. Organised by Pendleside Hospice and Burnley Pendleside Rotary Club, and kindly sponsored by Alderson and Horan Funeral Services, it’s a great day out with a powerful purpose.

Pendleside Hospice exists to promote and enhance quality of life for people with life-limiting illnesses, their families and carers, providing specialist, holistic palliative care that supports physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs.

It currently costs £6.4 million a year to run the hospice, with only around 20% funded. That’s why fundraising – and your support – is so important.
