Some of Hartford Care’s most intrepid team members took on a gruelling 16-mile walk, from its Belford House care home, in Four Marks, Alton, to Tegfield House in Winchester. In aid of Hartford Care’s chosen charity of the year, The Matt Hampson Foundation.
The Matt Hampson Foundation is dedicated to supporting people who have suffered life-changing injuries. Through sport, expert physiotherapy, specialist personal training, support, mentoring and advice, inspiring them to get busy living again.
Team members Sarah, Hannah, Emma, Jenny, Katie, Keeley and Maddy from Tegfield House and Woodlands House in Woodlands, Southampton, put on their walking shoes and trekked the 16 miles between the two Hampshire homes.
Sarah Robertson, Home Manager at Tegfield House, comments:
“I am so proud of the team for keeping each other going and completing the walk. It certainly had its challenges – originally planned for around 12 miles, it ended up being 16 miles! While some of us struggled with pain or blisters, our laughter and moral support kept us going. Helped us achieve this fabulous feat for this year’s chosen charity.”

Established in 2003, its current care homes are in Bristol, Berkshire (Burnham and Maidenhead), Devon (Sidmouth), Dorset (Poole), Hampshire (Aldershot, Barton-on-Sea, Four Marks, Hythe, Portsmouth, Winchester and Woodlands), Isle of Wight (Bembridge, Ryde and Shanklin), Oxfordshire (Witney) and Wiltshire (Downton and Swindon).
