Cheapside Business Alliance are proud to partner with the London Homeless Collective on The London Walk 2026.
We are all aware of homelessness in London and particularly rough sleeping – the most visible form of it. Therefore, Cheapside Business Alliance is proud to join Aldgate Connect BID and London Heritage Quarter to support The London Walk.
This night-time walk through London aims to raise funds for local homelessness charities, including:
- Providence Row
- The London Homeless Collective
- EveryYouth
- Greenwich Homeless Project
- Thames Reach
- The Connection at St Martin in the Fields
- Streetwise Opera
- The 999 Club
- Vision Care for Homeless People
- SPEAR London
- Glass Door Homeless Charity
- Pret Foundation
- Spitalfields Crypt Trust
- St Martin’s in the Fields Trust
Walking through the night offers an opportunity to reflect on the experiences of people who are homeless – not only those who are forced to sleep on the streets, but also those who stay awake by travelling on night buses or spending time in 24‑hour retail spaces to remain safe. This is a reality for many, particularly young people, trans people, and women, who are especially vulnerable to violence and exploitation.
Places cost £40 each and the fundraising targets are £150 for the 10k walk, £250 for half marathon and £350 for the full marathon. If there is another charity you would like to walk for, simply let the event organisers know.
