Hike for Hospice

Hike for Hospice has wrapped up for 2023! Stay tuned for updates on our 2024 Hike for Hospice

We did it again! At our 2023 Hike for Hospice, we raised over $89,000 to ensure Hospice Peterborough’s over 26 programs and services stay free for everyone in our community. We send a heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated and pledged.

For over twenty years, Hospice Peterborough’s annual Hike for Hospice has been bringing together passionate individuals and teams who want to keep end-of-life and bereavement support free in our community, while often offering a space to remember and honour loved ones who have died.

Watch this page and our social media channels for more updates on our 2024 Hike for Hospice!

 

Giving to Hospice Peterborough

Death often brings a financial burden, which is why Hospice Peterborough is dedicated to providing our programs and services – free of charge.

Generous donations from individuals, businesses and foundations make our care possible. Your support helps to ensure that we can continue to provide support to people in our community living with life-threatening illness or grieving the loss of a loved one.

Hospice Peterborough receives funding from the Ministry of Health and relies on our community to provide 43% of our total operating budget.

Get Involved!

Volunteers are the heart and soul of Hospice Peterborough.

Every year volunteers spend hundreds of hours to help Hospice Peterborough with fundraising events.

As a volunteer, you can share your time and skills, learn new skills, meet new friends, and make a difference.
