What is Steps for Change?
Steps for Change is your challenge, your way. Throughout May, you choose the distance, the pace, and the place. Early morning park runs or evening strolls around your neighbourhood. Solo miles or group adventures. The choice is entirely yours.
Your steps will help fund vital support that helps people with visible differences live the lives they choose.
Where your steps lead
Every pound you raise helps Changing Faces:
- Provide confidential counselling that builds confidence and resilience
- Provide peer-to-peer support connecting individuals with shared experiences, fostering empathy, reducing isolation, and breaking down stigma
- Deliver workshops that empower children and families
- Challenge appearance-based discrimination and fight for real change
- Support people who need advice, guidance, or simply someone who understands
Make it yours
Steps for Change is entirely yours to shape. Take on a classic goal like walking 5k daily or running 100 miles across the month, get creative with heritage trails or map out “CF” on your fitness tracker, or simply reimagine your daily routine by walking at lunch, taking the stairs, or joining your local parkrun. However you choose to move, you will be raising vital funds.
