About Dawn Walk
Dawn Walk is a 5km sunrise walk from 9 to 11 October 2026, for anyone who wants to fundraise for Samaritans and help save lives. Sign up for free and walk 5km so no one has to face their darkest hours alone.
Life can be wonderful. Life can be tough. Relationships. Work. Money. Loneliness. Mental health. Self-harm. We can all struggle. And 1 in 4 of us have had suicidal thoughts. But it doesn’t have to end this way.
Samaritans is the charity that prevents suicide through the power of human connection.
Thousands of volunteers from all walks of life are here every hour, every day. Listening without judgment.
We're suggesting you raise a minimum of £200 to help fund our life saving services - but you can aim higher to make an even bigger difference for those at crisis.
Whether you pound the pavements, hike a hill, wander the woods, stroll the shoreline or anything else, you’re helping to save more lives. Let’s prevent suicide today. Because tomorrow’s too late.
Take on the walk solo or gather friends, family, or colleagues for a group walk. Each step supports a vital cause. We’ll make sure you never feel alone with support and encouragement from our amazing community of Dawn Walkers.
