Sepsis claims 5 lives every hour in the UK. In 2026, UK Sepsis Trust (UKST) continues to take vital steps to change that – and we need your support more than ever.

The challenge

This September, we're bringing workplaces, families, and communities together across the UK. Challenge your colleagues, gather friends or family members, form teams, and clock up as many steps as possible throughout the month.

⭐ World Sepsis Day takes place on 13th September, making this a powerful moment to step up, raise awareness, and stand together against sepsis.

If September doesn’t work for you, feel free to take part at a time that suits you.

Why take part?

By participating, you’ll be raising vital funds to support our lifesaving work, while also helping to raise awareness of sepsis – a condition that can affect anyone, at any age. Every step taken helps bring us closer to a future where fewer lives are lost to sepsis.

Thank you so much for your support. If you have any questions, please get in touch with our team via fundraising@sepsistrust.org.
