The Big Walk 2016 combines two key events - The Trans Pennine Trail and the One Day Walking Challenge. Two teams of 10 staff each will walk over 120 miles from 12-17 June to Sheffield on the Trans Pennine Trail. On the final day, both teams will walk 18 miles back to the University, accompanied by the Big Walk One Day Challenge team of staff, students, alumni and friends — including myself.

All funds raised through this year's Big Walk will be used to support refugee academics and students at the University, to demonstrate our solidarity with refugees and to show that refugees are welcome at our University and in our city. Our University is a University of Sanctuary and this has been our tradition since this institution was founded.

Thanks you for supporting the Big Walk 2016.
