CHALLENGE SUMMARY

The Big Night Walk was founded in solidarity with rough sleepers who often find it safer to walk during the night rather than bed down on London’s streets.

During this eye-opening experience, you’ll hear personal insights from Big Issue vendors, past and present, to get a sense of what a genuine difference you’re making by taking on this walk.

  • Capture the iconic moonlit sights of London
  • Achievable 15 miles at your own pace
  • Inspirational stories from vendors past and present
  • Solo walkers are teamed up beforehand
  • Corporate and group fundraising challenge opportunity
  • Support homeless vendors on their difficult journeys

Shoreditch Town Hall, 380 Old Street, Hackney, London, EC1V 9LT

Soloists, couples, groups of friends, family and colleagues

Lots of people sign up by themselves then form a group to walk with - so don't worry if you're on your own. Solo walkers have first arrival and the friendly volunteers help form teams.

About The Big Issue Foundation

A 'hand up' and not a 'hand out'.

The Big Issue believes in a ‘hand up and not a hand out’ and recognise that earning an income is a key step in a person’s journey towards stability and a better life. Achieving something for yourself is 100% more empowering than having it done for you.

There's an open door policy for individuals who have made the first step to try and work themselves out of homelessness. Our charity work focuses on delivering brighter futures, boosting self esteem and helping vendors to reclaim their citizenship.
