There are two routes, a 3 mile walk and a 9 mile walk, the former specially designed for primary school children and their families with lots of surprises including a treasure hunt along the way. Both start and finish at St Joseph’s Church Hall. The routes are to suit all ages and abilities.

The longer route has a midway stop for refreshments along with a quiz!

After the walk  refreshments and snacks will be available for all walkers at St Joseph's, as well as a certificate for all those completing the walk!

The more the merrier! You can fundraise together, as a group, or as individuals, it's up to you! We ask that any child under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a responsible adult, and there will be points within each walk in which dogs must remain on leash. 

All sponsorship from this event will go directly to the St Vincent de Paul Society’s community support project in Leeds, providing help and support for families living in poverty, including debt advice, education, immigration support, emergency provision and more. For more information regarding our services you can read our About Us page or have a look at What We Do. 

There is opportunity to donate via or just giving page Sponsored Walk 2025 | Localgiving or by scanning the QR code on the poster or Sponsor form.

If you're collecting donations via sponsor form, please send directly to your Parish/Group organiser, or send direct to:

St Vincent’s Support Centre, 4 Berking Avenue, Leeds, LS9 9LF

Cheques are payable to St Vincent de Paul Society.

We will be collecting small amounts of cash on the day.

We ask that all funds related to the sponsored walk are submitted on or before 1st July 2025

Absolutely! Although we really love to see everybody on the day of the event, we understand that not everybody will be able to make it or may want to do a walk that suits them better. If you're taking part in your own walk, we request that you inform us so we can set up a Local Giving link for you. Please ensure it occurs as close to the date of our walk as possible and funds are still sent within the deadline of 1st June 2025.

If you are doing your own walk or fundraiser please register with us.

If you are taking part in your own, different walk, you are welcome to submit donations to our localgiving page Sponsored Walk 2025 | Localgiving or if you'd prefer, you can set up your own fundraising.
