Sue Ryder Starlight Hike returns on Saturday 3rd October 2026 at 8.00pm. Join us and thousands of walkers for a great night out and walk under the stars with family and friends to celebrate a loved one.

We can’t stop terminal illness, death and grief from happening. But we can stop people facing them alone. At Sue Ryder we believe how we die matters, which is why we’re committed to being alongside people through terminal illness, death and grief.

We provide expert palliative and end-of-life care and grief support, offering hope, dignity, and kindness when it matters most.

Every day, Sue Ryder supports people who are dying or grieving, and because of you, we can be there for countless others. Last year alone, we gave over 655,000 hours of care. Every second mattered, and you gave us the means to do it.

£120 could fund an online bereavement counselling session, helping someone talk to a trained professional who can listen, reassure and support them.
