Following the announcement of Queenscourt Hospice’s funding crisis, supporting events like Star Trekk can make a meaningful difference to the compassionate care which is provided by the Hospice.

A Southport and Formby Health spokesperson said: 

“Having taken part in our first Star Trekk event last year and finding it such a special experience, we are honoured to take part again in memory of our much‑missed friend and colleague, Paul Ashby.

“A founder of the organisation and our Director of Finance and Communications, Paul dedicated his career to supporting local healthcare. In his final days, he was cared for with great kindness by Queenscourt Hospice, and with many colleagues taking part in the Queenscourt Hospice Star Trekk walk, this is our way of remembering Paul, saying thank you, and supporting the hospice’s invaluable work in our community.”

Queenscourt Hospice is proud to have Southport & Formby Health walking alongside them once again for another unforgettable Star Trekk.
