Southend-On-Sea to Paddington Station
Sept 23rd-25th, 2026
Presented by Apex Fostering
This September, we’re walking from Southend-on-Sea to London to raise awareness of the need for more foster carers — and we’d love you to be part of it.
You don’t have to walk the full route to get involved. Whether you join us for a mile, an hour, or a full day, every step helps bring visibility to children and young people in care who need a place to call home.
We welcome:
Foster carers
Social workers
People considering fostering
Supporters who want to be part of the conversation
No experience needed — just comfortable walking shoes and a willingness to be part of something meaningful.
A relaxed, supportive walking environment
Opportunities to talk, connect, and share experiences
The chance to join for a section that suits you
A small team leading each part of the route
We’ll share more details about timings and meeting points once you’ve signed up. We’re excited to have you involved!
