The Big Step Out 2024
12 -25 June 2024

You're Invited!

You are invited to join The Big Step Out this summer,  our national campaign to celebrate carers and the people they care for as well as raising funding for our Stepping Out walks.  It’s time to let unpaid carers know they are not invisible to wider society as they so often feel.  

Everyone can join The Big Step Out 2024 

Let’s see how far we can go to show unpaid carers how much we value & appreciate them.

Scroll down to see how you can take part.

PLEASE DONATE to our regular Stepping Out Walks if you would like to support the incredible contribution that every carer makes to the benefit of society as a whole. Let’s recognise, celebrate and reward the UK’s 10 million carers and the people they care for who help save the NHS from collapse every single day. Thank you for caring for carers.

COME to one of our walking festivals. The Big Step Out at Hatfield House, Hertfordshire, on June 12th features 4 fabulous walks around the Great Estate and Historic Gardens, plus live music, entertainment, prizes and lunch. Discounted entry available. Bookings now open.

What is the National community walking festival?
Our national community walking festival to celebrate unpaid carers and the people they care for throughout the UK. Take steps and tell us how many. Let’s see how far we can go to care for carers.

How is the money spent

Your gift will mean unpaid carers can enjoy one of our Stepping Out walks and help us highlight the remarkable work they do everyday. Here's some examples of how donations can help:

£5 will buy a lunch for a carer on one of our walks.
£10 will buy lunch for a carer and the person they care for and give them the opportunity to chat to others in similar situations.
£15 will go towards transport for a carer to join a walk.
£50 will allow us to hire an electric wheelchair so that someone with a health problem or disability will be able to join their carer.
Our Motto

“Every Adventure Begins
with The First Step”
