Walk for Windermere Foodbank

Join our new fundraising campaign, that turns every step taken into support for local people facing hardship.

Walking

Here in Windermere and The Lakes, we are blessed to be surrounded by some of the most beautiful walks and scenery in the country.

We would be thrilled if you, your friends, your community group, school, or business would consider fundraising for us through a sponsored walk.

Whether it’s a gentle lakeside stroll, a favourite local route, or a more ambitious challenge on the fells, Walk for Windermere Foodbank is about coming together to make a difference.

There are routes to suit a wide range of abilities—including options such as Miles without Stiles—so you can take part in a way that works for you.

Not only do you get to experience the many benefits of being outdoors, but you’ll also be helping us support people in our community who need it most.

Walk your way. Make every step count.
