Calling all LGBTQ+ people and allies!
Take on Shelter's Stride with Pride 5k walk in Manchester, Birmingham or London to raise awareness of the impact the housing emergency has on people within the LGBTQ+ community and raise funds for Shelter.
Between 3 locations, we are aiming to walk at least 500 miles between us, so join us on World Homeless Day to have pride in our home.
At each event, you will walk together guided by Shelter staff and volunteers.
How to sign up
Choose your location and purchase your ticket on our Eventbrite page. Join us as we raise awareness of the housing emergency's impact on the LGBTQ+ community.

How your walk helps
When you run and fundraise for Shelter, you're defending the right to a safe home for everyone.
Our experts advise and support people facing homelessness or unsafe housing. Thanks to fundraisers like you, last year we supported 16,721 households in England through our emergency helpline and 13,130 through our local hubs.
We also tackle the root causes of homelessness, by:
campaigning for better renters' rights
lobbying the government to build a new generation of social homes
calling out systemic racism in the housing system
Every pound you raise helps us fight for home.
Fundraising for Shelter
We recommend you start by setting up a fundraising page on JustGiving and asking friends, family and colleagues to sponsor you. You can also organise an event such as a bake sale or quiz. See our fundraising resources for more inspiration.
Please make sure you’re confident in reaching the fundraising pledge before you sign up. We invest in places at charity events and need to raise as much as possible for our fight against housing injustice.
Our friendly Events team are on hand to support you with your fundraising. If you have a question or want to talk through ideas, email running@shelter.org.uk or call us on 0344 515 1190.
