If you would like to take part in this challenge we ask if you can walk 110km (68 miles) from the 1st - 31st March. This length is the circumference around the city. You can take part in this walk anywhere you wish over a number of days / weeks as long as you start and end inside the month.

Why Changes Bristol?

Changes Bristol is a community led charity that supports people in need of mental health services. The charity run 18 peer support groups (in-person and online), a twice-weekly walk and talk service and telephone befriending for one-to-one support.

All of these services are free for anyone over 18 and there is no need for a diagnosis or GP referral. People can attend as few or as many groups as they need and there is no waiting list for peer support.

The last 2 years have been difficult for Changes Bristol - although we have had twice as many people contact us for support, much of our funding has been lost. Any sponsorship will help us to serve our community well and offer a diverse variety of services.
