Hundreds of walkers set off from Prospect Hospice on Moormead Road, Wroughton, on the morning of Saturday 18 April 2026 for the charity's first men's walk in Swindon.
The eight-mile route crossed Swindon and finished at the County Ground, home of Swindon Town, Swindon24 reported. The walk was organised by Prospect Hospice in partnership with the football club.
Registration opened at the hospice at 8am and the walk started at 9am. Walkers were expected at the County Ground at around 12.30pm, ahead of Swindon Town's afternoon match against Accrington Stanley.
What was the walk for?
The event aimed to encourage men to talk more openly about mental health, grief and personal challenges.
Money raised was to go towards Prospect Hospice's care for people with life-limiting illnesses and its support for families facing bereavement. The charity provides its services at its Wroughton base and in people's homes.
Organisers said they hoped the walk would become a regular event in the town's calendar.
