Sponsorship is a key part of the Night Hike and the yearly funds we raise.
We encourage all Night Hikers to raise a minimum of £25 sponsorship; 5 people sponsoring £5. Now, before you think, ‘I can’t raise that amount, so I won’t take part‘, please remember it’s a suggested amount. We understand that it is a difficult time for many people and any amount you raise will go towards helping our clients.
Last year, no single walker raised £65,000. It is everyone’s combined efforts that helped us reach this unimaginable amount. Pennies turn into pounds turn into changed lives.
To make getting sponsorship for your walk as easy as possible, below are just a few ways you can ask your family and friends to support you!

What your sponsorship does
Every step you take gets us a step closer to providing more services for more people affected by cancer. Whether someone sponsors you a penny or a pound it all really adds up to go towards vital services. Here’s where your sponsorship goes.
At The Nightingale we’re all about a cup of tea and a biscuit. It doesn’t matter if you’re waiting for an appointment or have had a bad day and need someone to talk to, everyone walking through our doors is offered a cup of tea (or coffee!).
Aromatherapy massage uses aromatic essential oils to improve the health of the body, mind & spirit
Mindfulness helps you to respond to life’s stresses in a calmer manner that benefits your heart, head and body. These sessions help you recognise and step away from unconscious emotional and physiological reactions to every day events.
Where our client’s journey begins. In an initial assessment we find out how best we can help and what services each individual would benefit from. From there we make an personalised care package of our services.
An hour for clients to switch off and let their mind and body unwind. Whether reflexology, massage or reiki, our therapies are designed to aid mental and physical health so that clients feel lighter walking out of the centre than when they walked in.
