Bluebell Walk raises over £40,000

We were delighted to welcome 550 enthusiastic walkers of all ages on Sunday 4 May 2025 to enjoy a six-mile Bluebell Walk through the Kent countryside in aid of the hospice.

This year’s Bluebell Walk has so far raised an incredible £40,000, with the total expected to rise further to around £45,000 when final sponsorship money is collected.

Returning as joint headline sponsors for this charity event were Kent based med-tech manufacturer Bedfont and their strategic partners NewMed Ltd.

Richard Neville who took part in the walk said: “The Bluebell Walk was such a great way to spend a Sunday morning. We got out in the lovely Kent countryside to support a charity really close to our hearts and to remember Dad who loved taking part in previous years and who the hospice provided an immense amount of care for. It is such a privilege to be able to fundraise to give more families the care and support we had when Dad was a patient.”

Events Manager at Heart of Kent Hospice Maisie Bass said: “It was a terrific event which took place on a lovely sunny Sunday.  We always enjoy watching all the enthusiastic walkers taking to the North Downs for our annual sponsored Bluebell Walk, many with a hospice water bottle and wearing one of our new branded t-shirts. Thank you to everyone who took part, fundraised, and donated to ensure Heart of Kent Hospice can continue giving compassionate end-of-life care to those who need it most.

“A huge thank you to all our volunteers who marshalled the route, parked cars and registered walkers, without which, this event could not take place.”

We'd also like to thank our incredible sponsors NewMed and Bedfont for sponsoring this event for the second year running.
