Title:Siân, Lisa and Shell at TLC chesterfield are embarking on the The Big Nacoa Walk 2025 – Walking for Children Affected by a Parent’s Drinking

Our Goal: £10,000

Why We’re Walking?

Every step we take in The Big Nacoa Walk 2025 is for the 2.6 million children in the UK affected by a parent’s drinking. These children often feel alone, scared, and unheard. The National Association for Children of Alcoholics (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 alone, scared, and unheard, the fundraising event 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 have to face these challenges alone.

Where we are walking...

The Seven Edges Challenge Walk is a 22.5 mile (36 km) walk with 1000 metres of ascent and descent. It is a strenuous and demanding walk that will take around 10 - 12 hours to complete.

The Seven Edges are:

Derwent Edge

Stanage Edge

Burbage Edge (Upper)

Burbage Edge (Lower)

Froggatt Edge

Curbar Edge

Baslow Edge

Blackstone Edge

Birchin Edge
