The Thames Bridge Big Seven! WAND Sponsored Walk

WAND UK Logo

WAND UK would like to invite you to walk with us, crossing the 7 London bridges to raise funds for WAND’s projects. WAND works with women across London, we want all women to be able to benefit from our services. We aim to empower and improve the quality of life of the women we work with. We connect our women and their families, to the community to give them a sense of place and purpose, ending the cycle of isolation, economic and social disadvantages giving them a voice in the community.  WAND supports about 600 women a year and many of those use the Emotional Wellbeing support service.  Whilst we walk across London’s bridges, we will be raising funds for WAND’s Mental and Emotional Wellbeing Project which provides women with support to help them realise their full potential.

  • Developing new approaches to help employers and individuals develop workplace solutions, or ways of working that facilitate greater participation of people experiencing these conditions.
  • Improving systems by joining up services to strengthen communication, liaison or joint action.

We welcome applications from employers, charities, social enterprises, local authorities, health bodies and others from across England, Scotland and Wales.
