This July we are holding our 3rd annual Big Hospital Walk. We will be walking from Calderdale Royal Hospital to Huddersfield Royal Infirmary, taking in the beautiful sights of Salterhebble, West Vale, Blakley and Lindley. The route has some stunning views as we tackle the hills of Calderdale and Kirklees to raise vital funds to continue to support patients and colleagues at CHFT.
