Join the second year of GLOW Birmingham to fundraise and make a difference.
GLOW mental health charity walk is a unique and vibrant 20km night walk through the city of Birmingham, and it is open to all abilities.
You can take part solo or get friends and family together as a team. Bring some lights and glowsticks, see some Birmingham sights and unite with others who want to help raise vital funds for people affected by mental ill health.
This 20km walk will take on average four hours to complete from the early evening into the night and the circular route through the city is sure to get you GLOWING!
Walk through the heart of Edinburgh, taking in its iconic sights and sounds from a whole new perspective.
Corporates, small teams, families, couples and individuals.
Be one of the city’s featured sights that night, so dressing up is encouraged! Be it glow sticks, luminous face paint, fairy lights, or fun clothes. Friendly dogs are welcome - they can dress up too!
Do something special to mark World Mental Health Day.

I liked the idea of walking in the evening with a few glowing accessories on me.. of walking through London and discovering new routes which allowed me to see many iconic places.. of testing my resilience to see if I could walk 20K (something I’ve never done).. of being part of a crowd who have compassion and understanding of mental health issues. Kiran, GLOW participant 2022
I enjoyed seeing my fundraising increase on a weekly basis, the events that I organised pushed me out of my comfort zone, I talked to people about Mental Health in a way that I would never have done otherwise. Louise Greenwood, Lloyds Banking Group
I was totally elated when I crossed the line and so glad I’d given it a go! Helen Taylor
Mental Health UK was a friendly partner to have. I received lots of motivational encouragement via email which maybe doesn’t sound like much but knowing people are rooting for you really helps. Richard Gray
