Get together with friends and family on the longest night of the year, to walk 5K.
Walk for Children is for everyone. Walk 5K, or as far as you can, with your friends, family, furry companions or by yourself this Christmas. Choose to walk on 21 December, or on a day that suits you. Whenever you take part in our Christmas charity event, you could help Childline be ready for every question this festive season.
While children are at home for the Christmas holidays, they’re cut off from many vital support systems. And without these support systems, they may feel they have no one to turn to. No one to ask those urgent questions; questions like how to feel less lonely or how to cope.
By joining Walk for Children and raising money this December, you can help the NSPCC’s Childline service be ready for every question from children this Christmas.
You'll be sent an NSPCC t-shirt and fundraising pack in the post with everything you need to get started.
Complete it with friends, family, colleagues or solo. You could walk an organised trail, do a loop around your house, office or school, or walk around local Christmas lights.
Use your online fundraising page to help you reach your £100 target.
Walk 5K on 21 December or another date that works for you! Wrap up warm, dress festive and know that every pound you've raised will help keep more children safe this Christmas.
Walk for Children is for everyone
Join on your own, with friends, family or furry friends, and take part in a way that works for you.
You can take part any way that feels best for you, whether you're on foot, using a mobility aid or completing your route in another way.
Your fundraising could help answer urgent calls to Childline from children this Christmas.
People are encouraged to walk on 21 December, the longest night of the year. Because for children facing abuse, every night feels like the longest.
But if this date doesn’t work for you, you can take part in Walk for Children on any other day in December.
Walk for Children takes place anywhere you like — you can pick the location and distance that works for you. So, wrap up warm, wear your best festive outfit and walk your own 5K route.
Choose your own route – you could walk an organised trail, plan your route around local Christmas lights, or plan to end in a pub for a well-deserved drink!
These come in a range of colours and sizes. All products are made to order from organic cotton and printed in the UK in a renewable energy-powered factory:
Each walker is encouraged to raise £100 but any amount you can raise is welcome. If you’re taking part in a group, the sponsorship target is £100 per group, not per individual.
Children have so many questions at Christmas – for parents, teachers, Santa, and even Childline.
For children facing abuse, the winter nights are dark, long and lonely. All children need to know that the NSPCC is there for them, even on the darkest nights.
By joining Walk for Children, you'll raise vital funds which will make a difference. Your fundraising could help Childline be there for every child - whenever they need us. With your support, Childline can be ready for every urgent question this Christmas.
This event is ideal for taking part as a team! Each team member will enter individually then your team can work towards a collective fundraising target of £100 using one fundraising page.
Children are very welcome to take part, however due to the age restrictions on the forms a parent or guardian needs to register on their behalf.

The Mehta family took part in Walk for Children last year in Surrey. They were motivated to take part as Holly and Hattie wanted to learn more about Childline, an NSPCC service. They also wanted to help raise awareness and money for the NSPCC over the festive season. They raised an amazing £156!
We completed our walk in Llandudno – getting to see the seals and sheep on our coastal route! We chose to take part as Elijah wanted to help other children who needed it, he said that all children should be happy at Christmas as it’s a happy time. Alessandra and Elijah
We completed our 5K walk while looking at local Christmas lights and finished in a pub for a well-earned drink! Every child deserves to get help and support when they need it, which is why we wanted to do our bit to help raise some money. Loraine and Julie
I decided to do my walk without shoes, so I could try and raise as much as possible to help other children. I did nearly give up during the walk because it was freezing, but I knew it was nothing compared to what some children go through every day. Summer
