I will be walking this path for me, my siblings, and every child whose life has been affected by a parent’s drinking. In May 2026, I will turn 42—the same age my father was when he finally found peace and left this world.

The Big Nacoa Walk 2026 – Supporting children affected by a parent's drinking

Our Goal: £12,500

Why We’re Walking?

Every step we take in The Big Nacoa Walk 2026 is for the 2.6 million children in the UK affected by a parent’s drinking. These children often feel alone, scared, and unheard.

Nacoa provides vital support, offering a lifeline to children who need someone to talk to and resources to help them cope.

While the 50 walkers are walking for children who feel isolated and afraid, the fundraising event itself will be the exact opposite — a celebration of community, hope, and support.

It will bring people together in solidarity to show that no child should ever have to face these challenges alone.

How You Can Help?

By donating to our JustGiving page, you will help fund Nacoa’s free, confidential helpline and support services. Every pound raised makes a difference:

- £10 can pay for 5 information packs to be sent to schools.

- £20 pays for 10 helpline calls to be answered.

- £50 pays for an entire day of helpline calls

- £500 pays for a school support package for an entire year.

Support Us!

We appreciate any donation you can give to help us reach our £10,000 goal. Together, we can make sure that no child feels alone because of a parent's drinking.

Thank you for your support – every step we take is a step towards a brighter future for these children.
