Take part in University Dorset Hospitals NHS Charity's - Walk for Wards event

Morebus is showing its support for University Dorset Hospitals NHS Charity’s Walk for Wards event.  The popular fundraising event will be taking place at Upton Country Park on Saturday 14 October 2023. 

The event is a fantastic family occasion - giving local people the opportunity to walk for a ward or department of their choice and raise funds through sponsorship while enjoying the beautiful surroundings of Upton House.

There is a choice of a 5km or 10km route - or people can opt for the family-friendly 3km course if they’re looking for something a little more gentle. 

Walk for Wards is a fun-filled day, giving participants the chance to raise much-needed funds for University Hospitals Dorset NHS Charity. Upton Country Park and House serves as a beautiful backdrop to the day - which is also packed with food, shopping and entertainment. Dogs are welcome too. 

Corporate fundraiser, Hayley Harris from University Hospitals Dorset NHS Charity, said: “It is great to have the support of local businesses like Morebus for our charity events because we know there is so much more we can do for our hospitals when we can bring our local community together. And if we can give people fun days out to enjoy while they fundraise, even better. We are looking forward to seeing as many people there as possible walking with us for our hospitals.” 

Anyone wishing to take part can register now, 

We’re encouraging those taking part to travel with us to Upton House. Several of our routes stop at, or close to, the country park - so there is plenty of opportunity to leave the car at home and travel more sustainably to the event. You can travel by bus to the walk using the following services: 8, 9, 10 & Breezer 40

The £2 fare cap initiative is still in place so this is an excellent opportunity to use sustainable transport on the day. You can also use our Journey Planner to plan your route to the event.
