Join us on Sunday 18th October as we take to the streets of London to walk with confidence, celebrate our community and raise vital funds for Changing Faces.
Whether you walk, wheel or use a mobility aid, you’re welcome to join us. The route is step-free and we’ll move together at a relaxed pace.
Dress up, feel confident and help us change lives
Wear something you feel confident in – whether that’s your favourite outfit, something colourful, or something that expresses your personality. There’s no cost to take part, but we’re asking everyone who joins us to fundraise for Changing Faces, with a suggested target of £100 per person. Together, your support can help create a world where lives are no longer limited by appearance.
Please note: spaces are limited. To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone, spaces to participate in the walk are limited. Once all spaces are filled, registration will close.
How to fundraise
To fundraise, simply set up a fundraising page on JustGiving and start sharing with friends and family. We’re here to support your fundraising with tips on how to share your JustGiving Page. If you’re attending as a group, you can set up a shared page to make the most of your fundraising!
Every pound raised will help us provide life-changing support to people and families affected by visible difference, and to continue challenging appearance-based stigma.
- £100 could help us be there at the end of the phone when a young person is feeling alone with their visible difference.
- £500 could help provide group therapeutic support to build confidence and self-esteem for 10 people.
- £1,000 could help run our support line for a week, providing one-to-one support when people need a listening ear.
