Join fellow supporters of the Charlie Waller Trust on their inaugural UK Walk for Wellbeing London Royal Parks Challenge and help them continue their crucial work.
This tough one day urban challenge takes you right through the heart of London. With a challenging distance of 45km to cover, this challenge is a fantastic test of your stamina and will leave you with an incredible sense of achievement.
Your first ‘Royal Park will be Bushy Park before we follow the River Thames to Richmond Park. The route takes us straight across historic parkland and beautiful green spaces before we cross the river again and head into Chelsea. Little known Brompton Cemetery is our next Royal Park before we reach the beautiful Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park. Continuing on through Green Park we pass the iconic Buckingham Palace and reach St James's Park, our seventh Royal Park. We make our way to Westminster and Victoria Tower Gardens before heading north to our ninth Royal Park, Regent's Park. With just one more Royal Park to reach we head east before crossing the river to reach Greenwich Park. By the end of the challenge you will have visited each of the 10 ‘Royal Parks’.
The Charlie Waller Trust is a national charity set up by the Waller family in 1997 after Charlie tragically took his own life aged 28. It provides mental health training, resources and consultancy with a focus on children and young people.
The Trust’s expert trainers give parents, carers, teachers and employers the skills and confidence to spot signs of mental ill health and support young people to seek help. It works in schools, colleges, universities and workplaces throughout the UK.
All the Trust’s work is evidence-based, with Charlie’s story at its heart, and most of it is free. It strives to ensure young people’s voices are heard.
