What is Walking Home For Christmas?
Walking Home For Christmas is our annual, nationwide walking challenge to support our work helping wounded veterans re-ignite their sense of purpose and get back on their feet with positive physical and mental health. Over the previous 9 years of the campaign, you've raised a massive £1,855,104, changing lives and shaping futures of veterans and their families. Let's add to that amazing total and this Christmas – MAKE IT HAPPEN for them.

Where does the money go?
At the heart of our mission is a simple belief - that those who served, deserve.
Whether mentally wounded, socially wounded or physically wounded, they deserve the care, support and means they and their families need to function in society, serving in the communities in which they live, reigniting their sense of purpose and making a positive contribution again. Walking With The Wounded gets those who’ve served – and their families - back on their feet. Your support and fundraising will help make a critical difference this Christmas and beyond.
