The Walk the Churn fundraising event is set to return in May 2026 to raise money for The Churn Project, a charity supporting young people and the community in Cirencester, Gloucestershire. The event invites participants to walk a scenic 10-mile route along the River Churn.
According to The Churn Project's official channels, the walk is a key fundraiser for their community hub located at the former Baptist Church on Coxwell Street. The charity provides vital services including youth work, mental health support, and community activities from this center.
The 2026 event is scheduled for Sunday, May 17. Registration is required, with participants encouraged to seek sponsorship. Previous walks have successfully contributed to the hub's operational costs, ensuring its services remain accessible.
Organizers emphasize the event's community spirit, welcoming walkers of all ages and abilities. The route is described as accessible, following the river and concluding back at the hub for refreshments.
