Join us on Sunday 20th September for a relaxed and welcoming walk through central London. Starting at the London Eye at 11am, we will walk along the South Bank to Tower Bridge, taking in some of London’s most famous landmarks along the way. Come to meet others, enjoy some fresh air and raise vital funds for Changing Faces. Together, we can take steps towards a society where everyone with a visible difference is respected, supported and able to live the life they choose.
Whether you have a visible difference, are a friend or family member, support the work of Changing Faces, or simply want to be part of a welcoming community, we would love you to join us. There is no cost to take part.
If you would like to fundraise alongside your walk, we would be incredibly grateful. Every pound raised will help Changing Faces continue our vital work supporting people with visible differences and challenging appearance-related prejudice and discrimination.
