Stride for Success

Stride for Success is the national annual walking challenge from Rees Foundation, taking place every June to support care experienced people.

Launched in 2025, this month-long, flexible challenge is designed to bring people together to create meaningful change. There’s no set distance, so whether it’s a short daily walk or a bigger personal goal, every step makes a difference.

Be part of something bigger

You can take part anywhere in the world, in your own time, on your own or with friends, family, or colleagues. When you sign up, you’ll receive a Stride for Success Rees t-shirt and water bottle to help keep you motivated.

This is more than a fundraiser, it’s a chance to be part of something bigger and help care leavers build brighter, more secure futures.
