Pennyfarthing Homes is proud to sponsor the Oakhaven Walk 2026, taking place on Saturday 16 May 2026, supporting the incredible work of Oakhaven Hospice across the New Forest, Totton and Waterside communities.
This much-loved annual charity walk brings together walkers of all abilities to take on a scenic coastal challenge while raising vital funds for local hospice care. As long-term sponsors since 2018, Pennyfarthing Homes helps cover the cost of running the event so that every pound raised by participants goes directly to patient and family support.
