Story

Holiday Hamster Heats Up with a Fiery Fundraiser for Overgate Hospice

The intrepid team at Holiday Hamster, based in Ripponden, West Yorkshire, who are well known for going the extra mile for their customers, is now taking their commitment to new, scorching heights. On Friday, 5th April 2024, the fearless five - Hayley, Martin, Steph, Lydia, and Sinead - will brave the flames and walk on fire, all in the name of charity. The sizzling event will take place in the Overgate Hospice Grounds, promising an evening filled with heat, heroics, and hopefully, no singed toes.

Overgate Hospice, a beacon of compassion and care in Calderdale, offers invaluable support to those with life-limiting illnesses, ensuring their days are lived to the fullest. From pain management and symptom relief to emotional and bereavement support, the Hospice’s team delivers services free of charge, adding life to days when adding days to life is no longer possible.

Hayley Walker, the Company Director of Holiday Hamster, shared her fiery enthusiasm for the event, “Overgate Hospice is a wonderful, local charity. My family has experienced the excellent work they do first-hand, so I am delighted and proud that my team at Holiday Hamster can do something to give back and help other families like mine. At Holiday Hamster, we believe in making every journey, whether across the globe or over hot coals, truly meaningful.”

This flame-fueled fundraiser isn’t just about daring deeds; it’s a call to action for the community to rally behind a cause that touches many hearts.Donations will help fund the essential services that Overgate Hospice provides. It’s an opportunity to turn up the heat on the generosity of our customers and the public and support those facing life’s toughest journeys.

The event promises not only an evening of exhilarating entertainment but also a chance to contribute to a heartwarming cause. Bring your cheers, your support, and perhaps a fire extinguisher (just in case) to the Overgate Hospice Grounds on 5th April. Let’s light up the night with hope, courage, and community spirit.

For those who cannot attend but wish to contribute, Holiday Hamster encourages donations through its fundraising page, ensuring that every penny goes directly to supporting the hospice’s mission.
