Dog owners across Sefton are being asked to lace up their walking shoes and get stepping this September to raise money for Queenscourt Hospice.
The local charity is running its Wag & Walk challenge all month long, encouraging people to spend extra quality time with their dogs while raising funds for hospice care across Southport, Formby, and West Lancashire.
It is completely flexible, you set your own distance goal for the month, whether that means adding an extra lap around the park each day or heading out for longer coastal walks at the weekend.
As a thank you, every dog taking part will get its very own Wag & Walk bandana to wear on their walks throughout September.
Queenscourt provides specialist care for local people with life-limiting illnesses, both at the hospice in Southport and in patients’ own homes. Every penny raised helps keep these services running for local families when they need them most.
How to take part
- Choose your distance: Pick a realistic goal for you and your dog across the 30 days of September.
- Get registered: Sign up online to get your dog’s bandana.
- Raise sponsorship: Share your challenge with friends, family, and neighbours to collect donations.
To sign up your dog and get involved, head to the Queenscourt Hospice website.
