Solo-walker? No worry

You will make a difference

"Homelessness is a big issue. In fact the past few years have seen the biggest rise in homelessness in decades, especially in the capital. Nearly 100 people turn to The Big Issue each week, often at a time of extreme poverty and utter personal crisis. They’re looking for an opportunity to work for a better life.

"It’s a challenge to complete the walk, but it’s also a very memorable, insightful and enjoyable experience! Join us and you’ll see your capital in a whole new light, hear eye-opening stories from Big Issue vendors and know that you’re supporting the fight against poverty and homelessness.” Stephen Robertson, Chief Executive, The Big issue Foundation
