Conquer your fears…to meet the real you:

Firewalking is a thrilling experience which will prove that you are capable of overcoming anything.

Meet the real you…by unlocking your courage to help others:

The Firewalk is special since it’s more than just a personal challenge – it’s an opportunity to make a real difference in the world by fundraising for worthwhile causes. By participating in this event, you’ll be contributing to the following three causes which will make a lasting impact on communities across the UK and India.

• Humanitarian Care: Providing more fresh and nutritious vegetarian meals, and energy bars to the homeless across the UK. Since January 2022 the project has distributed over
  • 10,250 meals to rough sleepers in Manchester
  • 1,200 meals to the needy in North West London
  • 1,250 energy bars to rough sleepers
• Education Care: Breaking the cycle of poverty by supporting education initiatives for underprivileged children and youth in India to uplift current and future generations. The charity we are supporting in rural India currently hosts 370 children in primary and secondary school and provides education, uniforms, and schooling supplies free of cost.
• Animal Care: Enabling life saving medical treatment to injured and unwell animals in much-needed parts of rural India. This new facility will be critical for the welfare of these animals, and the wellbeing of the farming and tribal population of South Gujarat. A portion of this fundraiser will go towards building a new 150 bed animal hospital facility which will span 47,000 square feet.
