Join us for a joyful day of fundraising at Rochester Cathedral, where creativity, courage, and community spirit come together to support brilliant local causes.

In today’s economic climate, fundraising can be tough especially for small charities and community groups. That’s why Funding for All is hosting a mass participation event designed to help organisations raise vital unrestricted funds, without the pressure of organising it themselves. Every penny raised goes directly to the charities taking part.

Whether you’re shopping at our Makers Market, enjoying live music from three community choirs, or cheering on brave fundraisers in the LEGO® Walk Challenge, this is a perfect family day out – full of heart, hope, and local pride.

And don’t miss your chance to Walk with Wilf! BBC The Traitors star Wilfred Webster is taking on the LEGO® Walk to raise money for The Octopus Foundation – and you can walk alongside him!
