Organise a walk on Saturday 9 March (or another date that works for you), and join with hundreds of people walking in community in England and Wales to support people who are working to overcome poverty.
How to join in
Take the following steps(!) to join The Big Lent Walk as a community or parish:
Set up your community's fundraising page by signing up through the Big Lent Walk website.
Click on “Parishes sign up.”
Sign in to JustGiving or set up a JustGiving Account.
Choose a name for your page and select your parish or community from the searchable drop down, and use this to sign up (you can search using name, town or postcode).
Complete the rest of the details.
Edit your page as you sign up:
Add your fundraising target.
Select an image for your parish or community (eg photo of your Church or an image representing your community).
Add your story. Tell us why your parish or community group is walking this Lent.
Select ‘update’
Display the poster in your parish/community.
Choose a route. Maybe there's a particularly beautiful local walk that would be suitable.
Make sure you take plenty of photos on the event and share them using #biglentwalk and @CAFOD.
Add your distance by clicking the 'Add an activity' button on your page.
What else can I do?
If you fancy even more walking, why not take part in the 40-day challenge!
