What to expect

On 8 December, join hundreds of walkers for an unforgettable 5k route through the streets of central Bristol. As Bristol rent prices rise, the number of families stuck in temporary accommodation soars, and more are stuck sleeping on our streets than ever before. We're taking big steps to raise money and help ensure every family has a warm, safe place to call home.  

Beginning at the Shelter Hub in Brunswick Square, you'll walk through the bustle of Bristol’s central streets. The route takes you past the Christmas markets, along the beautiful Bristol Harbourside and through picturesque College Green, maybe snapping a picture of a Banksy and the lit-up Wills Memorial Building on the way.

Finally, you'll return to the start point via the famous Christmas Steps. 

You'll be surrounded by hundreds of other like-minded Shelter supporters.

This walk is perfect for families, friends, colleagues or solo walkers if you want to spread some festive cheer for a positive cause. Take in the Christmas lights, soak up the atmosphere and be a part of the fight for home this winter. 

See you there! 


What you’ll receive for taking part:

  • a free Shelter Walk for Home bobble hat on the night 
  • our digital welcome pack 
  • all the resources you’ll need to start fundraising 
  • the chance to meet staff and volunteers from Shelter’s Bristol Hub, finding out firsthand about the amazing work they do 
  • refreshments and a celebration of your achievement at the end of the walk 
  • on-demand support from our local Community Fundraising team

We asked our walkers what they loved about Walk for Home, and they said:




The sense of community, the upbeat and happy atmosphere, the fact it took place just before Christmas when all the lights were on, and the friendliness of all the support staff.

Your steps can help change lives
