What is Dawn Walk?
Dawn Walk is a FREE event taking place from Thursday 10 – Sunday 13 October.
The challenge is to walk 5K at sunrise, wherever you choose. This could be somewhere special to you, or your everyday route – it's up to you! Take on the challenge on your own or as a team, all whilst raising vital funds and awareness of Samaritans so we can be there for people when they need us most.
Why take part?
This year, Dawn Walk will be in celebration of World Mental Health Day, in solidarity with those struggling to cope.
Whether you’ve used our service before, are fundraising in memory of someone special or want to help us help others, we’d love for you to join us in our life-saving mission.
You can sign up on your own, with family, friends, neighbours, or colleagues - create a team and invite everyone you know to join you! Together we can make a difference.
We have a dedicated Facebook group to connect you with other like-minded #TeamSamaritans supporters, all walking to make a difference. Don't miss out and join today!
Every step you take and every pound you raise will help make sure that everyone has someone to talk to – we can’t thank you enough for your incredible support!
