MoonWalk 2026: A Night to Remember

Thank You for Lighting Up London

On Saturday 26 September 2026, hundreds of participants came together in Central London for the Supporting Humanity MoonWalk 2026. What began as a night-time charity walk became something much bigger: a community coming together to support individuals and families facing bereavement while raising awareness of the importance of mental health and wellbeing.

The MoonWalk was created to bring people together through movement, connection and purpose. Every step taken and every pound raised helps Supporting Humanity continue its work providing burial and bereavement support to those who need it most. Through these services, we help families navigate some of life’s most difficult moments with dignity, compassion and practical support.

This year’s event demonstrated exactly what can be achieved when a community comes together for a meaningful cause.

Why the MoonWalk Matters

Mental health challenges and bereavement can affect anyone, yet many people continue to struggle to access the support they need. The MoonWalk is about more than fundraising. It is about creating awareness, encouraging conversations and ensuring that vital support remains available within our communities.
By participating in the MoonWalk, our supporters help:

  • Fund burial and bereavement support services.
  • Raise awareness of mental health and wellbeing.
  • Strengthen community connections.
  • Ensure vulnerable individuals and families receive practical and emotional support when they need it most.

Every participant played a role in making a real difference.

Thank You

To everyone who walked, volunteered, donated, fundraised, cheered from the sidelines or helped behind the scenes, thank you.
Your energy, generosity and enthusiasm transformed the streets of London into a beacon of hope, compassion and community spirit.
Together, we raised vital funds, created lasting memories and demonstrated the power of people coming together for a shared purpose.

This wasn’t just a walk. It was a movement.

We look forward to seeing you at the Supporting Humanity MoonWalk 2027.

Testimonials

  • The event was organised well and helped to uplift my mood

    The event was organised well and helped to uplift my mood. I really enjoyed the day and appreciate that it was a fully volunteer-led event. My only feedback would be around the food choices. My daughter and I completed the 10km walk and unfortunately there were no vegetarian options left when we finished. It would be great to have a few more options available in future so everyone can enjoy the refreshments after the walk. Thank you

  • I have recommended this event to all my family…

    I have recommended this event to all my family and will encourage everyone to join future events. I suffer from severe back pain and took painkillers before the walk, but I am so glad I took part. I was in the grey group led by Yasmin, who was an absolutely brilliant team leader. It was wonderful to meet so many familiar faces from my past and make new memories together.

    Along the route, many people asked what we were doing, giving us the opportunity to raise awareness for bereavement support and burial funds. The atmosphere was amazing, with people cheering, singing and supporting one another throughout the day.

    I personally raised over £1,050 from friends and family and felt proud to contribute. I thoroughly enjoyed the event, wish to do it again, and thank all the volunteers for their hard work and support. This is exactly the kind of community spirit we need, helping those who are often forgotten and supporting people in need.
