St Ann’s Hospice invite public to take part in Nurses’ Day Walk

St Ann’s Hospice will be hosting a family-friendly 5k walk to mark Nurses’ Day 2025. 

The walk will take place on Sunday, May 11 in partnership with the Trafford Centre. The walk will begin and end at the shopping centre. The walk will start at 10am. 

The nursing staff at St Ann’s work day and night caring for patients at both hospice sites and in the local community, often going above and beyond and ensuring their loved ones also receive the support they need.  

As the new build site in Heald Green nears completion, help St Ann’s kit out the nurses’ break room by taking part in the new spring walk. 

The walk will take in woodland and canals along the way before finishing once again at the shopping and entertainment destination. 

Events Co-ordinator at St Ann’s Hospice, Laura Hindley commented. 

“This is a lovely new fundraising event we are running here at St Ann’s, and what a wonderful way to mark Nurses’ Day. Our nurses go above and beyond to care for our patients and their families and it’s important that we acknowledge and mark their hard work,” Laura said. 

Those taking part in the walk can raise money for the hospice through sponsorship, and they can also support the nurses by wearing a Team St Ann’s t-shirt or dressing in blue – fancy dress is welcome! 

All finishers will receive a medal for their achievement and a goody bag courtesy of the Trafford Centre. 

Those who can’t make the Nurses’ Day walk are also welcome to complete their own walk. Gather your friends and walk your own 5k route of your choosing – you’ll still receive a medal! 

Entry includes: Entry into the fully marshalled 5k circular walk , a special finisher’s medal, a goody bag courtesy of the Trafford Centre (Trafford Centre walk only), a fundraising pack with fun ideas and tips, a friendly events team who support you with your fundraising and on the day.
