Walk for Wards 2024

Step into a day of community, fun, and giving back at the Royal Berks Charity Walk for Wards! Join us as we lace up our walking shoes and come together to support our local hospital wards. This year, we’re thrilled to introduce an exciting addition: a Children’s Scavenger Hunt, promising endless adventure for our young participants.

Whether you’re a seasoned walker or simply looking for a memorable family outing, there’s something for everyone at this beloved community event. Trek through scenic routes, soak in the fresh air, and make lasting memories with friends and family—all while making a meaningful difference in the lives of those in need.

With every step, you’ll be supporting vital projects and initiatives within the hospital, ensuring that patients receive the care and comfort they deserve. Plus, by joining the Children’s Scavenger Hunt, your little ones will embark on an exciting journey filled with clues, challenges, and laughter, all while learning the importance of giving back.

This year, as well as supporting the ward of your choice, we have chosen to raise vital funds for Buscot Ward at the Royal Berks Hospital. Our aim is to raise enough to purchase an incubator for premature and critically ill babies.

Incubators are essential for premature and critically ill babies because they are a controlled environment that supports their fragile health and development by providing a stable, safe, and supportive environment tailored to their unique needs.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to be part of something truly special. Sign up today for the Royal Berks Charity Walk for Wards and help us make a difference, one step at a time!
