My story

Enjoy the sights of the city from a different perspective as you join us on a five-mile route, calling at London's iconic churches, where walkers will discover their history and the stories behind the work they do.

The event marks the start of Christian Aid Week 2025, which raises money to support communities working to free themselves from poverty and tackle the challenges of the climate crisis.

What’s happening?
The third London Freedom Walk takes place on Saturday, May 10 2025.

It sets off from St Martin-in-the-Fields...follows a family-friendly five-mile route...calls in at some of the city’s churches, where walkers will discover their history and the stories behind the work they do.

The walk will start at St Martin-in-the-Fields, and end at St Paul’s Cathedral, in time for the 5pm Evensong.

Why are you doing this?

The event marks the start of Christian Aid Week 2025, which raises money to support communities working to tackle the challenges of poverty and the climate crisis.

Every year, the charity’s supporters around the country have seven days and so many ways to help make a difference, and walkers in London are doing their bit by stepping out around the capital.

What is Christian Aid Week all about this year?

This year the Christian Aid Week appeal is focusing on the work of the organisation’s partners in Guatemala.

Guatemala is among the ten countries in the world most vulnerable to disasters and climate emergencies.

Over the past three years, extended dry seasons have severely damaged the livelihoods of subsistence farmers, who rely upon rain for their crops.

How your money helps

This Christian Aid Week, you can support communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis.

In places like Guatemala, extreme weather is destroying crops, deepening hunger and threatening livelihoods. But with the right tools and training, farmers can build sustainable futures.  

Every pound you raise could help:

  • Provide climate-resilient seeds to help families grow food.
  • Fund water conservation techniques to protect crops.
  • Support vital training so farmers can build a sustainable future.
