After our successful launch of Walk and Talk for NABS in November last year, we are delighted to announce that we will be doing another Walk and Talk event from Richmond to Putney on Thursday 19 September. This accessible morning walk offers a refreshing opportunity to improve mental wellness while bonding with your colleagues and others from across our industry community.

Entry per company is £2000 for up to 15 participants. You can cover the entry cost either by paying via invoice from your company or through a mixture of invoicing and or / company fundraising. Think bake sales, quizzes or simply sharing a link to your team JustGiving page!

Or, if you would like to enter as an individual or a small group of friends and colleagues from the industry, you can take part by committing to raise a minimum of £200 for NABS, with 75% of funds raised by Friday 30th August 2024.

Entry fee includes refreshments and snacks along the route. Participants are welcome to walk part of the route if they don’t fancy the whole 15km, there are plenty of opportunities to hop on the tube or a bus. The NABS Events Team can advise on locations and timings.

How to set up a JustGiving fundraising page:

For individuals, go to our event page and select ‘Start fundraising’, alternatively follow the instructions on the JustGiving website. Go through the step-by-step instructions, when is asks ‘Are you taking part in an activity?’ select the option ‘I’m taking part in an event’ and search ‘Walk and Talk for NABS’ to link to the event page. If you are a group of individuals who would like to set up your own team, you can do so using the additional instructions below.

For teams, follow the instructions above to set up an individual fundraising page (nominate someone to be team captain, as only one person can set up a team fundraising page) and then follow the instructions on how to create and join a team on the JustGiving website.

Every penny raised goes back into advancing the mental wellness of our industry community:

• £15: a birthday gift voucher for a child whose family are struggling financially.
• £50: help someone get back into work following redundancy by covering their interview travel expenses.
