20 stories for 20 years

ExpandHide

The Walk of Life was started by Vanessa Kyte (Ness) who died on 15th November 2007, seven years after first being diagnosed with breast cancer which developed into secondary lung cancer and brain tumours. Her passion for fundraising sparked her and her sister Nicola to begin the Walk of Life in 2006, and it has developed and grown ever since into the beautiful celebration that it is today with thousands of walkers stepping out for an incredible cause. The Walk of Life remembers Ness with our volunteer run ‘GoodNess’ stops along the way.
Whether you’re walking in memory of a friend or family member, to celebrate yours or your loved one’s recovery at the RUH, or to say thank you to the incredible RUH staff, this is a walk for all lives.

60 seconds. 13,000ft. 125mph. Will you take the leap?
Book your boarding pass for a once in a lifetime experience. Whether you’re an adrenaline junkie, conquering a fear, or celebrating a milestone, get ready for the thrill of completing a charity tandem skydive for RUHX. Tick off the ultimate bucket list item with #TeamRUHX in support of health, happiness and wellbeing for everyone in Bath and beyond.
We’ve partnered with the friendly team at Netheravon Airfield, the home of the Army Parachute Association. You’ll be jumping over the beautiful Wiltshire countryside, where, if you’re lucky, you’ll catch a glimpse of the White Horses on the way down.

On the day, you’ll receive thorough ground-training from a tandem master to prepare you for your fall to earth. Board your plane and when it’s time to jump, you’ll be strapped securely to your tandem instructor before you exit the aircraft at 13,000ft. Experience an exhilarating freefall of over 40 seconds before your instructor deploys the main parachute and together you steer your way back to the drop zone for a gentle, controlled landing.

How to book
There are two fundraising options available. Either way, you’ll get the same support from us!

Option 1 – Minimum sponsorship
£75 registration fee + £415 minimum sponsorship*

Step 1: Contact us to check availability – let us know your preferred date.
Step 2: Once your date is confirmed, we’ll send you a registration form to complete.

Option 2 – Self-funding
£245 + no minimum sponsorship target

Step 1: Book your own skydive at https://www.netheravon.com/ (let them know it’s for us to apply the charity discount)
Step 2: Let us know when you are taking the leap by emailing: fundraising@ruhx.org.uk
Step 3: Set up a fundraising page and raise as much as you can for everyone in Bath and beyond.

It goes without saying that the impact fundraising groups have is huge and they play a vital role in helping make our place healthier and happier for everyone. You may find them out in the community holding a bucket collection or organising fundraising events in the local area.
Your Community: Fundraising groups need time and commitment from people, like you, who are wanting to make a difference in their community. The RUH is your local general district hospital, serving over 500,000 people in Bath and the surrounding towns and villages in Northeast Somerset, West Wiltshire and beyond. Your work as a Fundraising Group can help raise funds that can go a long way in saving lives.
A place to connect: Fundraising Groups are a great way to meet likeminded people. A place to share knowledge, experiences, stories and have fun along the way with your group members.
Learn new skills: Whether you’re looking to strengthen existing skills or learn new ones, you can gain hands-on experience in areas such as team leadership, charities, events and more!
“I’ve been fundraising for RUHX since 2012, after losing my father-in-law and my mum to cancer within 3 days of each other. I joined a fun run as a volunteer initially and then became a part of Bath RUH Fundraising Group. We have since raised over £25,000 for our chosen campaigns!
I have met so many fabulous people along the way, not only the volunteers in our group but also all the people who have supported us. I have had the opportunity to do things I never thought I would do – marathons, presenting to a venue full of people and being part of a community group with a record breaking cake sale raising over £1,000 in a morning!”

Take Five Wind Quintet
“I originally set up Take Five during the lockdown period as it was a way to meet and play music within the Rules at the time. We are now a, not quite traditional, wind quintet as we have an alto sax and euphonium instead of French horn and bassoon, so we create a totally unique sound.
We play everything from classical to film music, jazz and pop and are very honoured to join you at this brilliant event.” – Alison Kent, Take Five
Oldfield Voices
Oldfield Voices provides pupils of all abilities from all year groups with the opportunity to sing! Directed by Victoria Robinson, we enjoy singing a broad repertoire of new and old, sacred and secular, and sometimes quite silly songs, accompanied by Alex Williams on the piano. We perform concerts regularly in school throughout the year and also go out into the community to share the joy of music whenever we can.

RUH Will Month 2023
2023-09-01 00:00 - 2023-09-30 23:59 | RUH Will Month, Royal United Hospital, Bath, BA1 3NG
The importance of making a Will
Everyone should make a Will regardless of their age, as long as you’re over 18. It ensures that your assets are given to the people and causes you want them to go to, and will avoid difficult decisions and legal complications in the future.

Even if you have a Will already, it’s easy for it to become out of date because of a change in circumstances. Therefore, you should regularly review your Will so that it reflects your current situation and wishes.
The thought of making a Will may seem daunting, but in reality it can be simple and straightforward. RUHX has partnered with a number of local solicitors who have the knowledge and expertise to guide you through the process. They will professionally write or update your Will at a reduced fee, to make it more affordable

100% of your fee will go to RUHX to help us support extra extraordinary healthcare in Bath and beyond.

£195 Standard Will £295 Standard Double Will*
*This offer is for a basic Will and if your requirements are more specialist or complex then the solicitor can advise you of any additional costs before you proceed.

Leaving a legacy to be proud of is easier than you think
