THIS year marks the fifth annual NSPCC Walk for Children, and we invite everyone to get involved.
Since its inception in December 2020, participants across the UK have walked their own 5k routes, raising over £460,000 to support the NSPCC’s vital work.
Typically held on the longest night of the year, this event offers families and friends a chance to come together for a fun, relaxing walk close to Christmas.
The Walk for Children will take place on Sunday, December 8, where participants can choose between a 5km route or a shorter, accessible path at a scenic location near them.
We encourage participants to aim to raise £100 to support the NSPCC’s essential services, including Childline, which offers round-the-clock support to children in need. Whether you join us in person or organise your own walk in your local area, every contribution will help to keep children safe this Christmas.
For more information and to sign up, please visit the NSPCC website.
