Get ready to light up the night—Prospect Hospice’s beloved Starlight Walk is back on Saturday 28 June, and this year it’s extra special.

As the hospice marks 45 years of compassionate care, the community is invited to come together for an unforgettable evening of remembrance, celebration, and support. 

Starting and finishing at The Deanery Academy, participants can choose a 10k or 15k route through the streets of Swindon, joining hundreds of others walking in honour of loved ones and raising crucial funds for local hospice care. Along the way, a moving remembrance space in Town Gardens offers a peaceful moment to reflect, remember, and celebrate lives well lived. 

Jeremy Lune, CEO at Prospect Hospice, said: “This year’s Starlight Walk holds even more meaning as we celebrate 45 years of care. It’s a night filled with love, community, and hope—an evening where memories shine bright and support for the hospice lights the way forward. We’re so thankful for everyone who joins us.” 

Whether you’ve been personally supported by Prospect Hospice, or simply want to make a difference, the Starlight Walk is a powerful way to show you care. Every step helps ensure the charity can continue delivering expert, compassionate support to people and families. 

Among those walking this year is Kelly Pulham, who’s taking part in memory of her dear friend, Sandra said: “My friend received such amazing care from Prospect Hospice. Even though she wasn’t there long, the support extended to her family and friends made all the difference. I’m walking in memory of my beautiful friend Sandra, and to raise money for others who need that same support.”
