Sylvester's Big Lent Walk
The Big Lent Walk is especially meaningful to Sylvester, a Community Participation Coordinator with CAFOD since 2019, because walking connects him with God and nature.
The beginning of Lent is upon us! And over 200,000 school children, parishes, individuals and families have committed to taking part in the Big Lent Walk.
Will you join them?

The Big Lent Walk in the DRC
CAFOD’s Democratic Republic of Congo team is kicking off the Lenten season by committing to this year’s Big Lent Walking Challenge.
“The Big Lent Walk is a great opportunity for physical exercise, as well as a learning opportunity for pupils on the global climate crisis”
Why take on the Big Lent Walk?
This Lent CAFOD is supporting families with the skills and tools they’ve asked for to fight the climate crisis.
In Bangladesh, 14-year-old Dristy and her Mum Rupali are building seed beds and planting palm trees to protect their crops from flooding and cyclones.
Sign up today!
Your commitment is to walk 200km this Lenten season - just 5k per day- to raise £200 (or more!) to help families like Dristy and her Mum Rupali grow stronger in the face of the climate crisis.
Stand in solidarity with communities around the world, and walk with the thousands of individuals, families, schools, and parishes that have already dedicated themselves to the Big Lent Walk.
Your steps can make a difference – all you have to do is sign up!
