ACWW – ‘Woman Walk the World’

Sponsored walks to be held on and around this date for 2020: 15th October

“Every year since 2012, ACWW members have used ‘ACWW Day‘ on 29th April to raise awareness of our Association, promote our work, and raise money to support Pennies for Friendship. This is a really important day, and we are always so grateful and inspired by your efforts. This year, recognising the challenges and risks in walking in our communities globally, and the financial insecurity caused by the current Pandemic, ACWW has taken the decision to postpone Women Walk the World with the aim of celebrating it for 2020 on 15th October, coinciding with the International Day of Rural Women.  This isn’t planned as an ongoing change, but rather a chance to give everyone time to get through this difficult time, and hopefully celebrate later in the year. This is in line with World Health Organization guidance, which we support in advising people to stay safe and stay at home. We will be using this opportunity to produce new fundraising and awareness-raising materials, as well as developing a theme for the day that should help you engage your community with the work of ACWW. We will also be working on digital fundraising solutions in case the current conditions stay in place until October.”
