About This Event

Walk for Home Manchester is Shelter’s winter fundraising walk taking place on 8 December 2026. Starting at 6pm from Shelter’s Manchester Hub on Watson Street, participants will take on a 5km route through central Manchester while raising money to help fight the housing emergency. Registration costs £10 and walkers are encouraged to raise £120 in sponsorship. The route takes walkers through Manchester’s central shopping streets, past the Alan Turing Memorial and through Piccadilly Gardens, before reaching Shelter’s hub on Swan Street and returning via Deansgate. The route is fully accessible, and dogs are welcome, making the event suitable for friends, families, colleagues and solo walkers. Everyone who signs up will receive a free Shelter Walk for Home bobble hat on the night, along with fundraising support and a digital welcome pack. Participants can also meet staff and volunteers from Shelter’s Manchester Hub before enjoying refreshments and a celebration at the finish. Every step and every pound raised will support Shelter’s work providing advice, defending housing rights and campaigning for lasting change for people without a safe home.
