St Giles is 60
This year, we're celebrating all of the amazing achievements from the last 60 years, and what's coming up next.
Help us raise £60,000 for 60 years!
2022 marks St Giles 60th anniversary and we are hosting a series of events throughout the year to celebrate. One of these is a St Giles walk where we are aiming to collectively raise £60,000 to ensure our services can continue to be flexible and responsive to the cost of living crisis.
Join us on our 60th fundraising walk
When - Wednesday 14 September
What - A 30 km walk across London. St Giles staff, volunteers and supporters will walk together across London taking in a route that visits St Giles's locations. We will meet in Regents Park for lunch for a chance to refuel, share stories, compare sore toes and have fun!
Where - There will be two groups of walkers departing from different locations near our HQ in Camberwell, south London.
- Group 1 - St Giles, Georgian House, 64-68 Camberwell Church Street, London SE5 8JB
- Group 2 - Brewbird Cafe, 29 Peckham Road, London SE5 8UA
All walkers will be provided with a free packed lunch before setting off.
Fundraising target - we are asking everyone that takes part to raise a minimum of £60 - £1 for every year St Giles has existed. We hope that this will encourage as many people as possible to take part in the walk.
