To raise awareness this Pride, MPowered will be raising money for Stonewall. Over the last 30 years, Stonewall has helped create transformative change in the lives of LGBTQ+ people across communities in the UK. It has travelled a path from a world where LGBTQ+ relationships were criminalised to one where LGBTQ+ people have equal rights to love, marry or have children.

But more change is desperately needed for LGBTQ+ people. Because in every community in the UK, and around the world, LGBTQ+ people are still being abused, thrown out of their homes, and bullied in schools and workplaces. The institutions that should be protective governments, communities, faith institutions and families too often stand silent, or actively harm LGBTQ+ people.

We will be walking the distance between our North and South offices in Leeds and Guildford... there and back. This will be the equivalent of 850,000 steps (or 410 miles). We will starting on the 15th try to do this in a month.

This event is to help raise awareness for Stonewall's amazing work and will help them fund important projects to ensure a world where all LGBTQ+ people are free to be themselves and can live their lives to the full.
