My story

What’s happening?
The fourth London Freedom Walk takes place on Saturday, May 9 2026.

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 end at St Paul’s Cathedral in time for 5pm Evensong.

Why take part?

The event is at the start of Christian Aid Week 2026, 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 come together to raise funds and walkers in London are doing their bit by stepping out around the capital.

How your money helps

You can support families facing the daily stress of food insecurity in Nairobi.

In the crowded and noisy settlements of Nairobi, parents like Fridah wake up knowing they must earn money – otherwise their children won’t eat that evening. But with tools, seeds and training from our partner, Beacon of Hope, families can grow nutritious vegetables in small city spaces and grow hope for the future.

Every pound you raise could help:

  • provide seeds and tools so people can grow food in small spaces.
  • fund training so people can plan ahead and protect their livelihoods.
  • support community-led projects that strengthen food security and incomes.
