Personal challenge for all ages and fitness levels

Walk anywhere, any day, any time

You can organise your walk anywhere in the world at a time that suits you.

Why Step by Step?

Talking about our own experiences of mental health is incredibly important, but it can be difficult to get started. It’s much easier to start a conversation about mental health when walking next to someone rather than sat face to face. Being outdoors and light exercise are also great for our wellbeing.

"Do something to support the mental health cause"

"I decided to participate as the rate in young people taking their own lives has risen in England and Wales by over 60% in the last 8 years. I had a young family friend who passed away so wanted to make sure I could do something to support the mental health cause and raise awareness. It is so important that charities can continue their life saving and crucial work."

Fundraising materials

Mental Health UK will support you in your journey setting up your Step By Step event, and will send you materials and guides that will help you get your walk up and running and make sure you smash your fundraising target.
