Walk With Us.
On Sunday 22nd May 2022 we invited the community to #WalkWithUs through the streets of Southampton to celebrate our stories and raise money for Touch Network.
Along a seven-mile loop from Bitterne to the City Centre and beyond we took part in creative actions, reflected together on what brings us hope, and made new friends – including Daniel, a larger-than-life puppet with a message of resilience who joined us thanks to Luke Brown Dance.
If you missed this year’s #WalkWithUs, don’t worry – come and join our neighbourhood storytelling events!

Led by the team from Luke Brown Dance, we crafted wool dandelions which carried messages of hope and support.

The message of the day was that nobody who struggles is ever alone. And we are still raising money to make sure that everyone can continue to be included in Touch storytelling events. 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.
Let’s celebrate…
- 6 years of Touch Network sharing stories of hope in Southampton
- More than 70 people joining us to walk across the city!
- More than £1000 raised to help keep Touch events free
