Changing Lives: Around The World

Let's go around the World together.

4,793 people sleep rough on UK streets every night.

We want to change that. From 7–13 September, every Changing Lives project, partner and supporter is coming together to do something extraordinary. Collectively aiming to cover the entire circumference of the Earth, 24,901 miles in seven days.

Every mile counts. Every length of the pool, every turn of the pedals, every lunchtime lap of the car park, it all adds to one shared total.

Sign up today and set yourself a challenge. Get your friends, family and colleagues behind you. Every pound you raise goes directly to our life-changing work supporting people facing homelessness across the UK.

Frequently Asked Questions

This is a seven-day fundraising challenge (7–13 September) where we’re collectively aiming to travel 24,901 miles, the circumference of the Earth. Every mile you cover contributes to our shared goal.
Sign up, set your personal challenge, and track the miles you complete throughout the week. Whether you walk, run, cycle, swim, or wheel, every mile counts towards the total.
Not at all! You can set your own goal based on what works for you. Whether it’s a mile a day or a marathon effort, every contribution helps us get closer to circling the globe.

Anything that gets you moving! This includes:

  • Walking or running
  • Cycling
  • Swimming
  • Wheelchair activities
  • Even creative options like fitness classes or active commuting. If it adds miles, it counts!

Absolutely. You can join the challenge with colleagues, friends, or family and combine your miles to make an even bigger impact.

You can track your activity using Strava or you can manually log your distances, whatever works best for you.

We encourage everyone to raise as much as they can, but there’s no strict minimum. Every pound raised goes directly towards Changing Lives’ work supporting people experiencing homelessness and other challenging circumstances across the UK.
