Children in Need 2026
Join our Children In Need 7 Park Challenge
Northamptonshire Walks is gearing up to raise funds for Children in Need by taking on the seven park challenge, a 13 mile walk through Northampton’s parks.
Taking place on Friday 14th November, the walking route will feature stops at key locations including Delapré Abbey, Waterside Cafe, Abington Park, Eastfield Park, Bradlaugh Fields, The Racecourse, Victoria Park, Beckets Park, and The University of Northampton.
Right now, Children in Need are only able to fund 1 in 8 organisations who ask them for help. As mental health challenges, particularly anxiety and depression, continue to rise among young people, Children In Need is calling on everyone to help lighten the load by fundraising this year.
Everyone is invited to join the challenge and can choose how much of the route they’d like to walk, whether it’s 30 minutes, 1 hour, half the distance, or the full 13 miles.
