We're back! Join our second Steps to Safety 15km Walk.

Steps to Safety: September Edition

Ready to make your steps count? Couldn't make our International Women's Day event? No worries! This September, join our second Steps to Safety, a feel‑good 15km walk from Manchester City Centre to Altrincham.

We chose this 15km walk to reflect the 1 woman killed by an abusive partner or ex every 5 days, a statistic that reminds us of all just how important literal life-saving services like Manchester Women’s Aid are.

All funds raised will go straight into helping us support women across the city helping to fund our weekly community drop-ins, specialist services, important wellbeing trips or in refuge, it all matters!

Spend the day surrounded by uplifting energy and play a part in supporting women as they take their first step to safety.

We also ask that each attendee, helps the walk make a further difference and individually raise a minimum of £100 prior to the day. We will be emailing you once you have registered with instructions on how to setup your JustGiving page as well as sending across some tips and templates you can use on your page.
