FAQs

What happens with my details when I register? +
When you sign up we are provided with your contact details, which we will only use in accordance with the event Terms and Conditions. This includes sending you transactional emails, communicating with you in preparation for the event, and making sure we have your health and emergency contact details to hand on the night in case they're needed. If you choose to fundraise on behalf of one of our partner charities, we will also share your contact details with them so that they can connect with you and support you in your efforts to secure sponsorship from friends, family, and colleagues..
Where and when does the walk start? +
We depart from The Connection at St Martin's, right near Trafalgar Square. It is a central, iconic London location. Registration opens at 18:45 and the first wave of walkers will depart at 19:45 and will be staggered in waves from then on - we'll update you nearer the time with all relevant details. Because this is a night walk, you will experience the city in a completely unique atmosphere.
Is it safe to walk at night? +
Yes. Safety is our priority. This is not a solo mission, you will be supported by our fantastic team. There will be someone leading the way and "tail walkers" at the back to ensure no one is left behind. Walkers are supported by marshalls on bikes who ensure they know where everyone is.
Where does the money go? +
You have full control. During registration, you can nominate a specific partner charity from our list to receive your funds. Alternatively, you can select "The Community Pot" via London Homeless Collective. London Homeless Collective is dedicated to supporting frontline charities in London. By choosing "The Community Pot" you will help us help our charity partners more.
What if I can't take part but still want to show my support for the cause? +
We appreciate that there are lots of reasons why you may not be able to participate, even if you really want to - you could be recovering from an injury, or you might already have plans that can't be changed. We get it. If this is you, and you still want to do your bit to end homelessness for more people in London, you can. Simply make a one-off donation instead via our JustGiving page. We'll ensure that any money you donate gets used where it can have the greatest impact, so you'll still be making a real difference. Donating online is quick, easy, and secure. Find our JustGiving page here.
