DCM

Walk a Mile Challenge – help end homelessness

$11,465 raised
Starts: 10 Oct 2023
Ends: 25 Dec 2023

Together we can make big strides to end homelessness. Step up, walk a mile and rally sponsors to champion this cause

Wellington

Every day, hundreds of individuals in the Wellington region face the harsh realities of homelessness; with no shelter, food, or hope. That’s where DCM steps in – building communities where whānau are housed, connected, valued and thriving.

But we can’t do it alone. We need funds to keep our essential services running.

Walk a Mile is a sponsored walk with a difference. You can walk anywhere and anytime that suits, including walking to school, to work, walk the dog, to your favourite lunch spot. And 1 mile is just 800m there and back.

Recruit sponsors, raise funds, and post photos of your progress on your Givealittle page. You can walk anytime between now and 25 November, after which we will hold a “Thank Yous” concert. More details about that soon!

Several great musical acts come together to help end homelessness – supporting the work of DCM with those who need it most. And you can help too, by buying tickets to see Laura Collins & the Back Porch Blues Band, one man musical sensation Seamus Johnson, the one and only Dr Blue with Vicky Weeds, esoteric folk songwriter Beans and toe tapping band Two Times.

It's the official wrap up to the Walk a Mile Challenge for 2023.

There will also be a charity art auction at the event, run by a top auctioneer from Dunbar Sloane.
