This year’s sponsored St Christopher’s sponsored Fun Walk takes place on Sunday 31 May in and around Keston Common. This is great event for families and friends of all ages – so please get together and help us to raise our target of £200,000 to fund more specialist support and training for care homes.

St Christopher’s wants to enable more people in our community to die in a dignified and calm way with the skilled care and support they deserve. Many care home residents are rushed to hospital as they approach the end of their lives – and can end up dying in Accident and Emergency. This is not necessary and not what most people or their families would want if they had a choice.More training and support for care homes could change this.

You can choose to walk three, five, eight or eleven miles starting out from the Greyhound pub at Keston Common near Bromley.

By asking family, friends and colleagues for sponsorship, you’ll be raising money for St Christopher’s every step of the way.

Our Fun Walk promises to be an exciting and exhilarating day out with food and entertainment at the start, finish and half-way points.Remember there are trophies for the teams and individuals raising the most money, the best fancy dress costume and the oldest and youngest walkers.
