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

This Christmas, support families in the Democratic Republic of Congo who’ve fled violence.

For mothers like Chance, daily life in a displacement camp means finding enough food, medicine and shelter to keep her children alive. But your fundraising can make a life-saving difference. Every pound raised could provide cash grants that: 

  • Give families the dignity to buy food, medicine and essentials.
  • Bedding, blankets and shelter to protect children traumatised by conflict.
  • Vital supplies that bring comfort and hope in the darkest of times

Your donations, this Christmas, will bring hope to those who need it most.
