CNWL Charity's firewalk raises over £12,000 for NHS patients and staff

CNWL NHS Health Charity hosted its first ever firewalk challenge on 13 November 2025 and what a success it was! Read highlights from the day below.

24 incredible firewalkers took on the challenge to walk across hot coals, helping to raise vital funds to support NHS patients and staff.

Despite the rain, spirits stayed high. Our participants arrived full of energy collecting their goody bags and event t-shirts. After an inspiring training session delivered by the Fundraising Firewalk Association, our brave walkers stepped up one by one - some even returning for a second or third walk.

A massive thank you to everyone who took part or came along to cheer. Your support made the evening truly special.

Special thanks goes to Channel 3 Consulting, our generous corporate sponsor, who not only funded the event but also took part with their own fearless team.

Final amount raised

We’re thrilled to announce that together the team raised an incredible £12,065 including Gift Aid. These funds will help ensure every patient and every staff across CNWL receive the support, care and treatment they need to live well.
