March 4 CENS
Walk 1 million steps throughout the month of March 2024 and help put an end to homelessness

REGISTER NOW

Step up for the CENS March 2024 walking challenge, sponsored by Lanswood, and raise vital funds to support homeless people. You will be helping them take their first steps forward towards secure, safe and independent living.

Take part as a team, or if you are super-fit, go it alone! All you have to do is take 1 million steps throughout March. That’s just over 32,000 steps each day! Or only 16,000 if you take part as a pair and just over 10,000 in a team of three.

Walk, run, hop, skip or jump.  However you do it, every step counts.

Here's how it works

Step 1

Choose your team and give it a name.

Remember the bigger the team, the fewer the steps each of you needs to take.

Step 2

Register your team.

Registration fee is £25 per team member. You will receive a free March 4 CENS vest each and a welcome pack*. As the purchaser you will be the team leader and will need to register all your team mates, so have their email addresses ready.

Step 3

Get fundraising.

This is optional, but it all helps raise more funds to help our residents. You can sign up for your own JustGiving or GoFundMe page and start a personal fundraiser. Alternatively, by clicking on the JustGiving logo below, you can share the link to the CENS JustGiving page. You can also download our sponsorship form. 

Step 4

Join our Facebook Group and start stepping.

Share your experiences, photos, inspiration and progress with other steppers.

Last year you raised over £8,000 for CENS and we are inviting you to join us again. What will you name your team? Need some inspiration? Some previous team names have been Captain CENSible, The Blister Sisters, Stepping Crewe and Cirque de Sore Legs.
