Walking & Trekking

There are many possibilities for walking and trekking to raise funds towards our work and whatever you decide to do, Afasic will support you as much as possible. We can provide you with sponsor forms, information about Afasic, stickers, and fundraising tips. We are also on hand to help you with training information and fundraising advice. Just get in touch to let us know what you are doing. Please support Afasic; you really can help to make a difference to a child’s life.

Afasic Sponsored Walks

All of our walks have a friendly and supportive atmosphere, with lots of encouragement along the way, first aid and stewards to keep everyone moving.
