CRASH Big March 2025

Walk 10,000 steps in March for CRASH

Walk 10,000 steps in March for CRASH

Join construction industry charity CRASH for its BIG March, as it aims to walk 10,000 steps every day in March in support of its vital work, helping homelessness charities and hospices in the UK with construction projects.

To take part, you can join as a company or march solo. Let CRASH know you’re taking part, and you’ll receive your own personalised image to promote your march.

You can share your progress with CRASH on social media using #theBIGmarch.

Donate your commute, contribute £1 for every day you march, or fundraise! Your company might even have a match-funding policy.

Start stepping! Complete 310,000 steps between the 1st and 31st of March. How you reach this goal is entirely up to you. Get creative with your steps—take short strolls throughout the day or go for long weekend hikes.

There is no registration fee for this event, so treat it as friendly competition! Don’t worry if you don’t hit 10,000 steps every day—it’s all about taking part.

Every step and each donation will help homeless men and women, and children and adults who need hospice care by constructing and refurbishing the buildings and spaces they need.

If interested, or you require any further information, visit the CRASH website.

Together, we can construct places that care for people.
