Description
Walk With Us
On Saturday 27th May 2023 we’re inviting the community to #WalkWithUs through the streets of Southampton. This fantastic, fun day out is open to everyone, and is a great way to connect with new friends in your city. Along a seven-mile loop from Bitterne to the City Centre and across the Itchen Bridge, we'll get creative, enjoy music and dance performances, and reflect together on what brings us hope.
We'll share inspiring messages with members of the public via ink-printed paper butterflies, created on the day at special workshops at October Books and the John Hansard Gallery.
Everyone who walks will ask their friends and family to sponsor a butterfly via our GoFundMe page - but there's no amount you need to raise and every little helps! More information coming soon. All the money raised on the day will fund Touch Network's regular storytelling events, which support mental health in Southampton ❤️
A day ticket lets you join for as much or little of the day as you want. This year we're excited to offer the option of a delicious packed lunch from Easy Tz Meals.
This event was a truly special part of last year, bringing smiles to so many faces and creating lasting memories. We can't wait to do it again.
Timings are approximate! We'll send you more information in the run-up to the event.

Life isn’t easy for anyone. But we all have a story of overcoming: whether it’s depression, grief, self-harm, shyness, perfectionism, cultural barriers, or any of the day-to-day struggles that each of us face. That’s what Touch Network is all about. When we hold up our hands and say that we’ve struggled too, and found our way to the other side, we bring hope and inspiration to others.
The message of #WalkWithUs is that nobody who struggles is ever alone. And we’ll be raising money to make sure that everyone can continue to be included in Touch storytelling events, which happen regularly across the city. Generous donations from people in the community will mean we can afford to keep offering these events for free, sharing stories of hope with anyone who needs to hear them.
