On the evening of Friday 14th March 2025 Streetwise Opera will be taking part in the London Walk, organised by our friends the London Homeless Collective. Streetwise Opera is a charity and opera company that uses opera and singing to empower and inspire people affected by homelessness in London, Manchester and Nottingham to make positive changes and reinvent themselves as artists.

This walk brings charities working in homelessness in the city together to walk as one. Every step powering the journey towards brighter tomorrows.

There will be three routes available: a 10K, half marathon and marathon through Central London, starting and finishing at The Connection at St Martin's in Trafalgar Square. Walking through the night offers an opportunity for reflection on the experience of people who are homeless. Not just people who are forced to sleep on the streets but those who walk through the night, travel on night buses or access 24 hour retail sites in order to stay awake and stay safe. In particular young people, trans people and women are all especially vulnerable to violence and exploitation.

Please consider supporting this vital work
