This isn’t just a walk, it’s a journey to make a difference! We’re raising funds for The Pendleside Hospice in memory of our past Chair, Bill Maclean.
Pendleside Hospice is dedicated to improving the quality of life for individuals with life-limiting illnesses, as well as their families and caregivers. They provide specialised and holistic palliative care that caters to each person's unique physical, psychological, social and spirital needs.
Mark your calendars for this moderately challenging but rewarding trail to the top of Winter Hill, Rivington Moor, Chorley. As you reach the summit, you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking views that are worth every step!
Donations for Pendleside Hospice can be made on the day. But remember, places are limited to 20 lucky adventurers, so don’t miss out!
