Lighting Up Huddersfield for Kirkwood Hospice – Starlight Walk 2025

At Ridley & Hall, we’ve proudly supported Kirkwood Hospice for over 10 years. On 5th July, many of our colleagues will be taking part in the Starlight Walk to raise vital awareness and funds for the incredible care Kirkwood provides to people living with life-limiting illnesses.

Their work not only improves the quality of life for patients but also offers essential support to families and loved ones during the most difficult times. Earlier this year, Kirkwood Hospice announced they are facing the most severe financial crisis in their history, needing to cut £1.7 million from their annual budget. This devastating shortfall threatens many of their community and support services.

We’re determined to raise as much sponsorship as possible to help protect these services. Every donation makes a difference – and even sharing this page with friends and family can go a long way.

Lauren Mackintosh, PA in our Commercial Department, said:

“After speaking to colleagues, I was moved by how many have personally benefited from Kirkwood’s support. We feel it’s our turn to give back.”

So, if you see our team lighting up the streets of Huddersfield on the night, give us a wave and some moral support – and please consider donating if you can.

Thank you! 💙
