Walking challenge
Organise a walking event for Independent Age
You can support Independent Age by organising a walking challenge. The time, distance and location are all up to you!
Your walking event can be anything from walking a few miles in your local area, taking on a daily steps challenge or climbing a mountain. Lace up your walking boots and be there for older people.

You’ll receive fantastic support from our friendly team from the moment you sign up until you complete your challenge.
We’ll provide you with:

Why support Independent Age?
The money you raise will support people like Veronica. Veronica is 82 years old and lives in the Southeast of England. She called our Helpline as she was struggling with rising electricity bills. Veronica was relying on extra jumpers when she was cold instead of turning on the heating, to keep down costs.
The Helpline helped Veronica to understand more about the money she was entitled to. Now, Veronica is receiving pension credit. This is a crucial top up for her income.
By fundraising for Independent Age, you will provide a support system for older people going through difficult times.
