St Luke’s Hospice is proud to be the charity party for the Anand Mela and will benefit from the ticket sales. We have a number of special offers for supporters who visit our stand at the Mela.
- Any one signing up for the Midnight Walk can collect their walker pack and t-shirt at the Mela , as well as benefitting from the reduced booking price of £20, and will also receive a free 10 day gym pass to Snap Fitness Kenton.
- Anyone signing up for the Shishunkunj and One Shakti 108 Sun Salutation event to raise funds of St Luke’s on the 13th June will receive a free meditation CD. Visit www.stlukes-hospice.org/salutations to find out more.
We are also asking visitors to the Mela to wear something purple to show their support for St Luke’s.
St Luke’s Hospice in Kenton provides care to enable people an incurable illness to access the care they need to live well, to know that their family and carers are supported, and to die with dignity in the place of their choice. We provide all of our services completely free of charge, and we rely on the support of our communities for over 70% of the funding that we need to provide free care.
The Midnight Walk is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and last year 1500 ladies raised an incredible £217,000 for the hospice. Some walk just for a fun night out, and some in memory of friends and family like Vanita Bhavani last year. Vanita says:
‘My mum was admitted to St Luke’s in 2013. She had end stage kidney failure and we got her into the hospice for respite care. The staff were really supportive and made the experience less traumatic at a time which was very difficult for us as a family. I first did the Midnight Walk in 2012 because I wanted to support a local charity and a good cause. But in 2014 I had a much bigger connection with the walk and it had much more meaning for me.’
The walk takes place on Friday 26th of June and the 9 mile route starts and ends at Harrow Leisure Centre. The evening starts with a packed programme of entertainment and a warm up, and finishes with a light breakfast at the centre. Find out more at www.stlukes-hospice.org/midnightwalk
Entry is £25 for those registering in June, but a reduced price of £20 is available only for those signing up at the Anand Mela, or in the St Luke’s charity shop on St Ann’s Road, Harrow Town Centre.
