An Oscar-winning actress and a comedian are showing their support for the Stars Appeal, Salisbury Hospital’s Charity.
The charity’s patron, Olivia Colman, who has starred in films and TV shows including The Crown, The Favourite and Broadchurch, and impressionist and comedian Rory Bremner, are helping get the word out about the Stars Appeal’s 20th Walk for Wards.
Walk for Wards is the Stars Appeal’s annual sponsored walk at Wilton House. This year’s event takes place on Sunday, July 6th.
Participants can walk 3k, 5k, 10k, or the new 15k route to express their gratitude to a ward or department at Salisbury Hospital that holds special meaning for them.
The sponsored walk is free to enter, and lunch is also provided. Everyone is welcome to stay and enjoy the Wilton House grounds, as well as the live music afterwards.
The money raised by the event helps fund Stars Appeal projects across Salisbury Hospital, including state-of-the-art equipment, building enhancements, and the charity’s ongoing projects, such as Stars Appeal Wi-Fi and support for patients with cancer.
To date, Walk for Wards has raised over £1.5 million, which has helped fund projects across Salisbury Hospital, including the Hospital’s first dedicated Breast Unit, a new Children’s Unit, Cardiac Suite and family accommodation on the Neonatal Unit, as well as state-of-the-art equipment such as additional MRI and CT scanners.
Over 1,500 people have already registered to take part. Walkers are asked to sign up in advance and commit to raising a minimum of £ 20 or £ 50 sponsorship per person (route dependent) for their chosen ward or department at Salisbury Hospital.
Enter for free at www.starsappeal.org/event/walk-for-wards/ or by calling 01722 429005. Registration closes on June 29.
