Richmond Riverside Walk 2025 | Christian Aid

We are fundraising to support communities facing the climate crisis and hunger.

In places like Guatemala, farmers like Aurelia are fighting back against extreme weather that’s destroying their crops and food sources. Despite these challenges, they are learning new skills to grow resilient crops and protect their families from hunger.

Sponsoring us on this walk can help fund the vital training these farmers need. Please give what you can to help families like Aurelia’s build a sustainable future.

Donations can be made to our online giving page: Richmond Riverside Walk 2025 - Christian Aid Fundraise

We hold a vision of a better world, free from poverty and climate change. Come join with us!

This 8-mile (long walk) or 3-mile (short walk) walk along the Thames path will start at St Matthias Church, Church Road, Richmond, TW10 6LL and end at St Anne's Church, Kew Green, Richmond TW9 3AA.
