Stride against
hunger.
A sponsored walk and community picnic. We gather, walk together, then share food in the park — all ages welcome, and every participant gets a Stride Against Hunger t-shirt. Every pound raised goes straight to our soup kitchen and food bank.

Meet at the café
Find us by the café and playground in Beddington Park. Pick up your free Stride Against Hunger t-shirt and say hello to the crew.
The walk
6K, at your pace
A flat, friendly 6K around the park. Walk it, jog it, push a buggy round it — there's no clock and nobody gets left behind.
After
Community picnic
We finish where we started and share food together in the park. Bring the family — this bit is the point as much as the walking is.
Why we walk
Every pound feeds Croydon
AR Projects runs two soup kitchens a week and a food bank packing up to 900 emergency parcels a month. Everything raised on the day goes straight into that work — the food, the van, the gazebo, the hot meals.
Bring your family, bring your friends, bring your dog. The more of us walking, the more people we feed.
