Organise a Starlight Walk at your Sands group

We want to help you organise a Starlight Walk at your Sands group. Walk and talk this winter. With every step you take, and with every pound you raise, you are helping us create a legacy of hope and comfort, showing the world how much every baby is loved and giving anyone affected by the loss of a baby the chance to not feel alone.

How we can help you

  • We can create a bespoke registration page on our Starlight Walk website
  • Send out registration packs which include a lanterns, candle, and a card of dedication once someone sign ups through your bespoke registration page
  • Send you bi-weekly sign up reports 
  • Provide resources to help plan your walking route
  • Share your event on social media if you tag @Sands and use the hashtag #starlightwalk

The registration for any Starlight Walk organised virtually is £7. This is to cover the cost of the lanterns, candles and postage. 

How to get your Sands Group involved

1. Confirm the date and route of your Starlight Walk

2. Contact the Fundraising Team by emailing starlightwalk@sands.org.uk

3. Once we've created your bespoke registration and event page which can take up to a week, you can share your sign up link and your event for promotions. 

4. During the sign up process, your participants' fundraising page will be created and will be linked to your Sands Group fundraising. This is how you can fundraise for Sands.
