COLCHESTER United players have modelled event t-shirts for a charity walk which starts at the club's stadium. 

Members of Colchester United FC wore the St Helena Hospice's Midnight Walk t-shirts ahead of the event taking place this week. 

The Midnight Walk aims to raise money for the much-needed hospice and gives people a chance to remember loved ones they have lost, taking place on September 27. 

The team showed off the medals which participants will receive at the finish line of the four or nine mile walk once they return to the home of Colchester United, the JobServe Community Stadium.

Midnight Walk, sponsored by Fenwick Colchester, will see hundreds of people walking through the streets to the north of the city centre, all while raising much needed funds for St Helena Hospice.

Both routes will pass the Hospice on Barncroft Close in Highwoods, where people can pause at the memory stop for reflection and refreshments.

People visiting the Stadium for the pre-walk event village, sponsored by Matthew Douglas, will find entertainment, performers, glitter station, DJ and more, plus a daring glass and Lego walk challenge.

Anyone over the age of 11 can join in and participants are encouraged to dress in bright colours, as the charity event has a neon theme to light up the night.

Midnight Walk sets off at 10pm and participants can arrive from 7pm on the night to enjoy the event village activities.
