Walking events
Go the extra mile and walk for Traidcraft. We have teamed up with partner Charity Trek to offer some great treks in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Northumberland, ranging from two to six days. Or if a day’s stroll or power walk is more your thing, why not do a sponsored walk like the Great North Walk or Great Scottish Walk?
All Traidcraft walkers receive a Traidcraft T-shirt and fundraising guide. Go the extra mile and transform lives by joining the Traidcraft Active Team today.
