Taking A Walk For Cancer Support

The Night Hike is more than our biggest event of the year, it's a symbol of what’s possible when a community comes together to support people in their time of need. 

This year over 1,200 people took to the streets of Enfield, raised £117,000 and gave their steps meaning. Every single step taken on that night was a step towards someone in our community getting access to our free services.

Someone like Charlotte's Dad, who came to The Nightingale after he was diagnosed with cancer. In 2024, Charlotte, her husband, her two children walked the Night Hike with her dad, George, as a way to show their support for the The Nightingale and the help George was receiving. 

This year, Charlotte and her family used their steps to walk in memory of George, aka Grandad Moon.

"Our Dad got so much support from The Nightingale before he passed and we got so much from doing the hike again this year. 

We had such a great time and the kids have raised a whopping amount of money for this amazing cause. Grandad Moon would have been so proud of you. 🫶 🤍"
