Richard Walks For Charity

Every year I do at least one fundraising walk for charity.

Total raised for charity to date: £14,289.64

2021 – Centrepoint – TBA

In May, date still to be confirmed, I’m going to walk every single street in the City of London – in one day.
There are 480 streets, lanes and alleys in the City of London and I think it will take about 15 to 18 hours to complete this challenge.
As with my  TFL London tube stations walk last year, I will be raising money for Centrepoint, a charity that helps the homeless youth in the UK.

Starting on 3rd September I walked 325 miles to visit all 270 TFL London tube stations over a five day period.  Including gift aid, I raised £2,519.84 for Centrepoint, a charity that helps the homeless youth in the UK.
