Overgate Midnight Walk 2025
On the evening of 13th September 2025 — In a heartwarming display of community spirit, staff and young people laced up their walking shoes for a 10-mile sponsored walk in support of Overgate Hospice. The event, known as the Midnight Walk, kicked off at the stroke of midnight, lighting up the streets with glowing enthusiasm and charitable determination. The event started and finished from the iconic Piece Hall in Halifax.
Hundreds of people took part in the walk, which aims to raise vital funds for Overgate Hospice — a much-loved local charity providing specialist care and support for those living with life-limiting illnesses.
“It was incredible to see so many people coming together in the middle of the night for such an important cause,” said a spokesperson from Overgate Hospice. “Every step taken helps us continue offering care, compassion, and comfort to patients and their families when they need it most.”
Participants included staff members from various homes, alongside young people eager to make a difference. Many wore bright colours, flashing accessories, and personalised t-shirts in memory of loved ones cared for by the hospice.
This year’s walk is expected to raise thousands of pounds, with donations still pouring in online.
Organisers have called the event a huge success and thanked everyone who took part, donated, or volunteered on the night. Plans are already in motion for next year’s Midnight Walk, which promises to be even bigger.
