Participant’s and sponsor’s FAQs

We completely understand that a new date may not suit everyone. If they cannot attend, we will discuss alternative options, such as transferring places to another person or exploring other ways for them to get involved.

All donations already received will still go directly to supporting our new Acute Services Block and if participants are moving to the new date then no further action is required. If participants are unable to do the new date and sponsors would like a refund of their donation, we kindly ask for them to contact Bedfordshire Hospitals Charity in the first instance who will be happy to assist.
