Bellahouston Park

Go Yellow Walk
Bellahouston Park
Wednesday 29 May 2024
9am until 4pm
Cost: No fee, however fundraising is encouraged.

The Go Yellow 5K Walk, supported by Glasgow City Council, helps educate children on the crucial work of the hospice, while providing a challenge for them to raise funds for The Prince & Princess of Wales Hospice. On Wednesday 29th May, pupils will participate in a 5K walk around Bellahouston Park and then enter the event area where there will be sports, games and inflatables for an afternoon of enjoyment and fun.

Aimed at Primary 5-7, the Go Yellow event has successfully been educating pupils in hospice care for many years now and is an excellent end-of-term opportunity for schools to get together and have a fun day out. The event is free to register and all we ask is that pupils/schools raise whatever they can to support patients with a life-limiting illness and their families. Register at Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice website.
