- Now you’ve signed up for the challenge: Commit to walking 5 miles (or more) each week. Plan your walks – you can walk at your own pace, in your favourite spots—whatever works for you! Invite friends or family to walk with you.
- Create Your JustGiving Page:Set up a fundraising page by going to this page https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/walkingintheirshoesforstreetconnect and clicking the START FUNDRAISING button. There is a basic story there for you but do add to it and share a bit of your own story too – e,g, why you have chosen Street Connect – to inspire others.
Please invite friends and family to support your cause. Your page will show everyone how your fundraising is going, and you can also add wee updates about where you’ve been walking and repost to FB or instagram.
- Share Your Journey: Capture the beauty of your walks with photos and post them on social media. Tag us @StreetConnect and use #WalkingInTheirShoes so we can cheer you on!
- Get Support: Need more fundraising tips, promotion ideas, or even a walking buddy? We’re here to help every step of the way!
- Thank your supporters: At the end of October please thank everyone who has supported and encouraged you. Please ask if any of them would like to learn more about Street Connect. If so, we’d be happy to send you some booklets for them and encourage them to sign up for our newsletters.
