Rotherham Hospital and Community Charity, Barnsley Hospitals Charity and Doncaster & Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals Charity are incredibly proud to introduce a new and very special event, Autumn Memory Walk, taking place on Sunday 19 October 2025 at the beautiful Manvers Lake, Wath.
This peaceful 5K walk is a chance to come together in love, reflection, and remembrance a moment to honour those we’ve lost, and carry their memories forward with us. Whether you’re walking in memory of a parent, a son or daughter, a friend, a grandparent, or a colleague, this day is for you to share stories, feel supported, and remember together.
Along the route, you’ll find quiet spaces to reflect, and a dedicated remembrance area where you can take a moment for your loved ones. There’ll also be food, drink, and stalls to enjoy — bringing comfort and community to what we hope will be a truly meaningful day.
All funds raised can support the hospital which means the most to you and there is also an option to support all three together.
Together we walk in love and remembrance, join us to share memories, come together and celebrate those who we will never forget.
