A challenge with a purpose
On average, someone experiencing rough sleeping walks 11 miles (17.7km) everyday search of food, shelter, safety and support. That’s roughly the same distance you will be walking everyday during this challenge.
At Turning Tides, we believe everyone deserves a safe place to call home. That’s why we provide wraparound support, helping people experiencing homelessness rebuild their lives, regain confidence, find stability, and reconnect with their community.
Every pound raised will help provide vital support to people experiencing homelessness in our West Sussex community, giving them the opportunity to build a brighter future and take the first steps towards a place to call home.
We need a group of dedicated adventurers who believe that everyone deserves and home.
