Walk for Children

Get together with friends and family on the longest night of the year, to walk 5K. 

Walk for Children is for everyone. Walk 5K, or as far as you can, with your friends, family, furry companions or by yourself this Christmas. Choose to walk on 21 December, or on a day that suits you. Whenever you take part in our Christmas charity event, you could help Childline be ready for every question this festive season.

Why take part

While children are at home for the Christmas holidays, they’re cut off from many vital support systems. And without these support systems, they may feel they have no one to turn to. No one to ask those urgent questions; questions like how to feel less lonely or how to cope.

By joining Walk for Children and raising money this December, you can help the NSPCC’s Childline service be ready for every question from children this Christmas. 

How it works

• Sign up

  You'll be sent an NSPCC t-shirt and fundraising pack in the post with everything you need to get started.

• Plan your 5K walk

  Complete it with friends, family, colleagues or solo. You could walk an organised trail, do a loop around your house, office or school, or walk around local Christmas lights.

• Collect donations

  Use your online fundraising page to help you reach your £100 target.

• Walk 5K

  Walk 5K in December on a date that works for you! Wrap up warm, dress festive and know that every pound you've raised will help keep more children safe this Christmas.
