On Saturday 24th June join us for a sponsored walk along the canal from Tring or Berkhamsted finishing at Camelot Rugby Club for a celebration in memory of our founder Dr Bob Parsons OBE.
Friends, supporters, and Hemel Hempstead locals are all invited to the Hemel Festival of Hope – a fun day out for the whole family, to explore the local area and raise money for Hope for Children. Choose your walk or run distance of 4 miles or 13 miles and join us afterwards at Camelot Rugby Club for food and fun!
Join us to walk, run and play for hope this summer!
In honour of Bob: On 29 March 2022 our founder, Dr Bob Parsons OBE, died peacefully in Hemel Hempstead. Bob founded Hope for Children in 1994 to give vulnerable, overlooked, and exploited children a safe and fulfilling childhood, and his tireless work has helped children all around the world. His larger-than-life personality, humour, and care for humanity will be remembered by all who knew him.
The Hemel Festival of Hope will be held in honour of his life’s work, and the hope he inspired. Thank you, Bob.
Help us raise funds to ensure every child has a happy childhood that prepares them for a positive future.
