Taking place from 30 April to 4 May 2025 and organised by Global Adventures, the inspiring voyage aims to raise vital funds for the Hospice in the Weald, a charity renowned for its unwavering dedication to providing palliative care to those facing terminal illnesses.

Hospice in the Weald is a local charity providing essential palliative care and support to patients and their loved ones in Kent and East Sussex. Their services are available free of charge and focus on holistic care, addressing not just physical symptoms but also psychological, social, and spiritual needs.

The hospice also emphasises that its support extends beyond end-of-life care, ensuring that anyone impacted by terminal illness, including friends and family, can access the assistance they need.

The charity relies on donations and fundraising to continue its work.

Councillor Hulbert said, As a person approaches the end of life the care given to them, as well as their families, is vitally important both to enable an end of life that is supported and held by professionals, but also that their families are cared for, which so many benefit from in multiple ways.  The Hospice model has a proven system of improving the lives of those who remain after the death of a loved on.  Thank you so much for your support, it means so much.”
