Town Crier taking on Firewalk for St. Wilfrid's Hospice!

Published: 29 September 2026

Our fabulous Town Crier, Jane Smith, is taking on an incredible challenge to raise vital funds for St. Wilfrid’s Hospice.

On Friday 16th October, at Bognor Regis Town Football Club, Jane will join a band of brave volunteers as they take on a Firewalk, stepping across flaming hot coals guided by expert firewalkers.

The flames crackle beneath your feet. The heat rises. Your heart pounds. For a moment, everything feels impossible. And then—you take that first step.

This isn’t just a Firewalk. It’s a powerful and unforgettable journey that transforms fear into courage, hesitation into action, and compassion into life-changing impact. Jane’s challenge will make a real difference to people in our community, because every pound raised helps St. Wilfrid’s Hospice provide specialist end-of-life care and support to patients, their friends and their families in our local area, when they need it most.

Our Mayor, Cllr Paul Ralph, will be there to cheer Jane on. If you would like to support her in her latest challenge (and it’s certainly a tough one), then please consider sponsoring her via her JustGiving page, by visiting the link below.

Every step Jane takes will be helping to make a difference to local lives.
