The Step4Change walking challenge is back!

We’re asking you and your workplace or community group to walk 4 miles on International Women’s Day (or a day of your choice!) in recognition of the 1 in 4 women who will experience domestic abuse in their lifetime.

By taking on this fundraising challenge, you’ll be helping to make a real difference to the lives of women and their children experiencing abuse.  

Remember, it’s your challenge. You can choose the day to work best around your schedule.

Make sure to join our Step4Change Strava club to record your miles and see how your team mates are doing:https://www.strava.com/clubs/Step4Change

By giving back, you can help women and their children gain their freedom and start rebuilding their lives, free from fear and abuse:

- Raising £45 could buy a welcome pack for a woman moving into a refuge: includes a mixture of items such as toiletries, pyjamas, essential kitchenware, bedding, food, buddy bags for children, etc

- Raising £100 could pay for emergency hotel accommodation for a night for a survivor

- Raising £275 could cover the costs of running the Helpline for an hour

- Raising £320 could cover the moving costs for a woman who’s ready to leave a refuge and restart her life free from fear and abuse

- Raising £700 could could run a refuge for one day
