IHP Lends Support for NHS Celebration Walk

10th May 2023

Integrated Health Projects (IHP), along with IBI Group and Mott MacDonald, are proud to be sponsoring a celebratory 10k charity walk through Calderdale and Huddersfield, to mark the NHS’s 75th anniversary which will take place this July.

Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Charity, the official charity of Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust, is the driving force behind the ‘Big Hospital Walk’, which will take place on Sunday 9th July, just four days after the official NHS anniversary.

The 10km walk will take place between the Trust’s two hospital sites, starting at the main entrance of Calderdale Royal Hospital, following a scenic route through some of the most beautiful countryside, via Salterhebble, West Vale, Holywell Green, and Lindley, and finishing at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary.

Eddie Parker, Project Manager at IHP, is very familiar with the finishing line location, as he has been overseeing the construction of Huddersfield Royal’s new Emergency Department on behalf of Calderdale and Huddersfield Trust, which is due for completion later this year. Commenting on the Big Walk, Eddie said: “alongside our design partners, IBI and Mott MacDonald, we are delighted that IHP has been given the opportunity to support CHFT Charity with their Big Hospital Walk on the 75th anniversary of the NHS. Good luck to everyone involved.”

Both the Charity and the Trust are going all out to encourage local people to join them on the walk. Brendan Brown, Chief Executive of Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust said “We are delighted to be celebrating 75 years of our amazing NHS by supporting our NHS Charity's Big Hospital Walk. Put your best foot forward and join in!"

The Big Hospital walk is a perfect opportunity to bring together your friends, family members, colleagues and communities in celebration and honour of the incredible NHS services provided by Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust. The charity walk will not only be a wonderful commemorative occasion, but it will help raise funds for our NHS Charity – so we can continue to provide those all-important extras that enhance patient experience and colleague wellbeing.
