A dedicated five-member team from Edmonds & Slatter recently stepped out to support LOROS Hospice, raising more than £1,000 during a massive community event. Linda, Carol, Emily, Natasha, and Amy joined thousands of fellow supporters to take on the charity's popular annual Twilight Walk.
Dressed for the occasion, the group completed the vibrant 10k Glitter and Glow-themed route through the historic heart of Leicester. The atmospheric evening walk saw participants march around Victoria Park, creating a spectacular sea of light across the city.
Event Significance and Charity Impact
The event is one of LOROS Hospice’s most popular fundraising activities, bringing people together to celebrate, remember loved ones and support the vital care provided by the charity to terminally ill patients and their families across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.
The team’s participation held special significance this year, as Edmonds & Slatter is celebrating its own 40th anniversary in 2026. The milestone inspired the company’s decision to select LOROS as its Charity of the Year, following the hospice’s own 40th anniversary celebrations last year.
Fundraising Success and Community Support
Thanks to the generosity of patients, colleagues, family, friends and supporters, the Edmonds & Slatter fundraising page raised an impressive £1,034.17, including Gift Aid, helping LOROS continue its essential services.
The Twilight Walk's vibrant glitter and glow theme created a memorable atmosphere, with walkers lighting up the city streets in a sea of colour, music and celebration. Participants wore official Twilight Walk t-shirts, many personalised with messages of love and remembrance, creating a powerful symbol of community and support throughout the evening.
