Wilkinson Grant & Co, one of the region’s leading estate agents, has announced it will once again be the main sponsor of Hospiscare’s Men’s Walk, an eight-mile sponsored walk taking place in Exeter on Saturday 11th March, 2017.

Starting and finishing at the Double Locks pub located on Exeter’s quayside, participants will walk along the picturesque Exe Valley Way to the Turf Locks pub and back again where they will be greeted with a free pint and a Chunk pasty.

Walkers will also be able to enjoy the England v Scotland Six Nations match within the exclusive enlarged Hospiscare bar.

Hospiscare is a local independent charity, which provides free, high quality end of life care to 750 patients and their families, daily, across Exeter, Mid and East Devon. The event is designed to raise money to support its vital services and last year it saw 507 men raise £39,000 for the cause.

Alongside Wilkinson Grant as the main event sponsor, Double Locks will provide the venue free of charge, while St Austell Brewery will give each walker a pint of beer on their return. 

Roger Wilkinson, Managing Director of Wilkinson Grant & Co comments: “Hospiscare looks after a lot of terminally ill people and their families in Devon. As a company we feel that it is important to get behind events and causes like this – you never know when you might need their help.

If you haven’t signed up yet, I encourage you to do so. I took part last year and it was a really enjoyable way to support the charity and it was great to see so many people get involved!”

Entry (including a free pint and pasty) is only £17 per person. For more information, visit  www.menswalkexeter.co.uk or call Hospiscare on 01392 688020.
