Hospital Hero Hike – Colchester & Ipswich Hospitals

Colchester & Ipswich Hospitals Charity is inviting people to walk side-by-side with amazing NHS staff and take part in its popular Hospital Hero Hike.

This year’s event will see participants start their challenge at Ipswich Hospital before enjoying a scenic 21-mile walk through picturesque countryside to reach Colchester Hospital. They will be supporting hardworking staff working at East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust (ESNEFT).

Money raised will go towards essential support and resources beyond those the NHS can provide. This includes mental health first aid training to ensure one-to-one help is available for staff in crisis and additional spaces for restful breaks, together with support for physical, emotional and financial wellbeing.

It costs £20 to sign up for the hike, which includes snacks, a goodie bag, Hospital Hero t-shirt and a commemorative finisher’s medal.

This year’s hike takes place on Saturday 4 May, starting at 10am. For more information or to register, visit Colchester & Ipswich Hospitals Charity website.
