Walk 141 miles in September to mark 141 years of Children First supporting children and families across Scotland.

Join our walking challenge to help raise vital funds to support children and families this "Steptember"!

This year, Children First marks our 141st year as Scotland's national children's charity. With support from people like you, we've changed the lives of thousands of children in Scotland, protecting them from harm, keeping them safe and supporting them to recover from trauma and abuse.

Today, with the country in the grip of a childhood emergency, our commitment to standing up for every child is stronger than ever.

We challenge you to walk 141 miles in September to mark 141 years of our work. Walk solo, or with family, friends and colleagues. No entry fee and no minimum sponsorship required!

Why not boost your steps by taking part in the Edinburgh Kiltwalk 2025! 

Together we can protect all Scotland's children and create a brighter future for the next generation.

Why Children First

When you sign up for the 141 mile challenge we will provide you with:

  • A welcome pack with sponsor forms and helpful information to kick start your fundraising.
  • A Children First T-shirt to proudly wear whilst walking.
  • Dedicated support from a member of our fundraising team to help you every step of the way.
