Join us for a walk in the UK and help us fight poverty step by step.
In 2011 our sponsored walks raised over £147,000 for our work. Hundreds of people walked thousands of miles between them to fight poverty. Thank you to everyone who took part and contributed to raising this fantastic total which will make a significant impact to communities living in poverty.
