Walk through fire for your NHS! Hywel Dda Health Charities launches Fire Walk fundraiser

Hywel Dda Health Charities, the official charity of Hywel Dda University Health Board, is calling on supporters to take part in a thrilling Fire Walk at Glangwili Hospital at 5pm on Saturday 25th October 2025.

Participants will walk barefoot across five metres of burning embers which reach temperatures of up to 800°C – all in the name of raising funds for NHS services across Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire.

The event is open to individuals and teams, with a £15 registration fee and a fundraising pledge of £85. Fundraisers can choose to support a specific ward, hospital or service, with all proceeds going towards funding items and activities which are beyond what NHS funding typically covers.

Claire Rumble, Fundraising Officer at the charity, said: "This is a fantastic opportunity for our supporters to challenge themselves while making a real difference to our local NHS. The Fire Walk is about courage, community and commitment – and we can’t wait to see our supporters take on the flames!"
