Local charities are calling on fundraisers to take on the Big Hull Charity Firewalk and raise money for good causes across the region this September.
NHS Charities Health Stars and WISHH will be joined by Hull and East Yorkshire Children’s University and Hilltop Sports and Community Trust for the event, with funds raised supporting projects that enhance mental health, education, wellbeing and patient care throughout the region.
The firewalk will take place from 5pm to 8pm at Hilltop Sports Park, Willerby Court, Willerby Hill, East Yorkshire, HU10 6EF, on Thursday, 24th September 2026.
Participants will have the opportunity to walk barefoot across hot embers under the guidance of experienced instructors, while raising much needed funds for one of the charities. The event aims to bring local people together for a memorable challenge while supporting projects that make a real difference to communities across Hull and East Yorkshire.
Anita Green, Charity Manager of Health Stars, said: “On behalf of the charities and Hilltop Sports and Community Trust, I’d like to thank everyone who has signed up to the event so far. Taking those steps across hot coals is a challenge, but every step will help our charities deliver essential support to local people.
“The family fundraiser promises to be an unforgettable evening. There are still a few places left so if you are looking to do something different, support a good cause or challenge yourself, this is a fantastic opportunity to make real difference to your local NHS and community services.”
