FAQs

Registration and information sharing

Q: What happens with my details when I register?

A: When you sign up via Trybooking.com 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.

The Night Walk Experience

Q: Where and when does the walk start?

A: 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.

Q: Is it safe to walk at night?

A: 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.

Your Impact and the Charities

Q: Where does the money go?

A: 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," and we will distribute your funds fairly across our partners based on where the need is greatest.
