Pledging to walk a part of your normal journey

Group of Big Spring Walkers wavingWhy not ditch the car or the train and put some spring in your step? Get friends and family to sponsor you to walk to work or school or even to the shops.

You'll get to see your everyday journey from a different perspective while all the money you raise will go to support disadvantaged older people.

Here are some top tips to make your walk a great success:
  • Find a great location. Look around your local area and choose somewhere interesting, you could walk to a local beauty spot, along a canal path or round a historic part of town.
  • Invite as many people as you can. Everyone loves a stroll, so why not invite friends, family and colleagues. 
  • Raise money by charging an entry fee. Ask people to get sponsored to walk and by providing refreshments or a picnic in return for a donation.
  • Sign up and receive a Host Pack with sponsorship forms and posters to make your walk easy and successful.
  • Register your walk so everyone knows where to join you on the day.
