More than 250 brave souls rose to a spine-chilling Halloween challenge packed with ghostly encounters and raised a super boost for a Lincolnshire charity.

Over three nights, after dark they stepped out on Gelder Group’s creepy Halloween Walk, trying to ignore the eerie screams around them and the prospect of bumping into something really grisly!

Their bravery was rewarded with a much-needed drink, hot-dog or burger, but best of all the knowledge that they had help to raise a fantastic £4,000 – which has been split between St Barnabas Hospice and The Gelder Charitable Trust.

Caroline Swindin said: “This incredible donation will make a huge difference to our community Hospice at Home teams providing care and support to patients and their families in their own homes throughout Lincolnshire, when they need it most.

“We are extremely grateful to all those who attended the event and to all at The Gelder Group for organising and hosting, We look forward to working together with you again in 2025.”

Don’t be too disappointed if you missed this great effort, the Gelder Group might just dream-up another ghostly event in 2025!
