Hawk Express Cabs has been announced as the new headline sponsor for St Elizabeth Hospice's Midnight Walk in Ipswich.

Ipswich's largest private hire company, which has more than 300 vehicles on its roster, will be sponsoring the Midnight Walk 2023 on Saturday, May 20.

The Midnight Walk sees people don their brightest fancy dress outfits and bring a party atmosphere to the town to raise funds for St Elizabeth Hospice.

This year will be the 16th edition of the flagship fundraiser and will see participants walk routes of either five or ten miles.

Kim Morphew, company director at Hawk Express Cabs, said: "My family have supported and taken part in the Midnight Walk in the past and it is an event we have always loved.

"We pledged to make this a family tradition and participate in the Midnight Walk every year.

"When we learnt there was an opportunity to sponsor Midnight Walk we jumped at the chance as it is such a brilliant event for Ipswich and one that helps many people in the community."
