Buckinghamshire hotel staff join community in supporting local charity’s night walk
Staff at an award-winning Buckinghamshire hotel have got involved in supporting a Milton Keynes hospice midnight walk to raise vital funds for the charity.
Horwood House Hotel, an award-winning, 4-star country house hotel and conference venue in Little Horwood, near Milton Keynes, sent some of its staff to marshal at the city’s annual Midnight Moo event on Friday night (June 20th) in support of Willen Hospice.
The charity, which needs to raise £8.7 million each year to provide its services free of charge, invited people to walk distances of 5 or ten miles from Middleton Hall, centre:MK – with Horwood House’s staff handing out refreshments along the circular route and offering words of encouragement.
Horwood House has a proud, long-standing relationship with Willens Hospice and this event was the latest in its ongoing commitment to supporting the charity’s crucial work in providing end of life care.
To celebrate the efforts of all those who took part in the Midnight Moo, which required a fundraising pledge of £100 per person, Horwood House is offering 25% off treatments or spa days.
Caroline Morrone, General Manager at Horwood House Hotel, said: “We were delighted to continue supporting Willen Hospice through the Midnight Moo event. It’s a wonderful cause, and our team was proud to be part of such an inspiring community effort. By offering our staff the chance to volunteer and contribute, we not only support the charity but also strengthen our bond with the local area. We look forward to furthering our commitment to Willen Hospice and continuing our support for the amazing work they do."
To make use of the special discount offer, event participants – including volunteers – are asked to provide proof of involvement such as a finishing medal, ID card or email correspondence with the charity.
Horwood House was also named ‘Top Event Venue’ in the hospitality category of Saturday’s Milton Keynes Inspiration Awards. Now in its 8th year, the awards aim to recognise and celebrate people and businesses who inspire through their achievements, dedication and contributions to the city and wider region.
