Walk For Change Campaign
Become a #WalkerForChange and help change the lives of vulnerable children in need of support.
We are looking for you to get your hiking boots on, get outdoors and join our WALKERS FOR CHANGE.
There are several fantastic events coming up, all of which have 100km, 50km or 25km distance options – so you can pick your route and do it your way. Whichever you decide, you will enjoy exploring stunning locations, historic trails and iconic landscapes as you go. Set yourself a personal challenge, or take it on with friends, family and colleagues.
The events are organised by The Ultra Challenge Series and we will be sure to support you along the way.
HOW YOU’LL BE MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Every kilometre you cover, you will be raising money and support for children in need of change.
Set yourself the challenge of raising £10 per km and:
£250 could train a young person who has dropped out of school in the likes of construction, tailoring and hairdressing through our Vocational Training Programme, and provide them with a start-up tool kit to help them to launch their own business
£500 could fund two sports tournaments per year for 140 young people living on the streets through our Street Work Programme, giving them access to a safe space to learn new skills and have some fun, as well as take part in crucial life skills sessions.
£1,000 could set up a self-funding savings and loans group of up to 30 parents and guardians through our Village Investors Programme and provide them with training and support in community banking and business skills over three years.
“As a Patron of WeSeeHope, I am delighted to support their Walk For Change campaign. What a great excuse to get outdoors, get active and try something new this year. There really is an option for everyone – whether you’re looking for a personal challenge or a corporate team builder. For a small charity with a very worthy cause, getting involved will mean you will raise vital funds and awareness, helping to impact the lives of vulnerable children in Sub-Saharan Africa. Become a #WalkerForChange; you won’t regret it.”
