Step Up for Relationships Sussex
Walk, run or cycle with us to reach 10,000 miles for stronger relationships 💛
What if one simple walk could help change someone’s life?
Hi, I’m Jaycee and I’m proud to work for Relationships Sussex. I’ve seen first-hand how much of a difference counselling can make to someone’s emotional wellbeing. Our counsellors do incredible work every day, supporting individuals, couples, children and families when they need it most.
This spring, we’re inviting people to Step Up for Relationships Sussex - a 5-week community challenge where we’ll walk, run or cycle 10,000 miles collectively while raising funds to support people access affordable counselling.
Every mile logged is a step towards stronger families, healthier relationships and better support for our community.
You can take part in your own way:
-Walk with friends
-Run your favourite route
-Cycle with family
-Join a workplace team
-Take part with your local walking group
Together, we’ll track our miles and move towards our shared goal of 10,000 miles across Sussex.
Why this challenge matters
Relationships are at the heart of our lives.
When they’re strong, we feel supported, connected and able to cope with life’s challenges.
But when relationships struggle, the impact can be huge, affecting our mental health, family life, children’s wellbeing and our sense of belonging.
Relationships Sussex provides counselling and support for couples, families, children and individuals across Sussex who are navigating difficulties.
Our services give people a safe space to talk, rebuild communication and find ways forward.
Demand for support is growing - and fundraising like this helps ensure these services remain accessible to those who need them most.
A challenge built around connection
This challenge isn’t just about exercise.
It’s about creating space to walk, talk and reconnect.
Many people will take part simply by meeting a friend for a walk, joining a local group, or getting outside with family.
Walking together creates space for conversations that might not happen otherwise.
Those conversations can make a real difference.
How your donation helps
Your support helps us continue providing vital counselling support in our community. We offer a bursary scheme for low income households to make it affordable.
