The Foot Solutions Million Step Challenge

Help raise £10,000 for Vineyard Community & Richmond Foodbank

At Foot Solutions Richmond, we are known for our 3 step process of assessment, support and footwear. This has helped thousands of people achieve pain-free mobility and be able to complete their daily 10,000 steps whilst enjoying exploring Richmond’s beautiful riverside, parks and other green spaces.

We’re also aware of the vital work that Vineyard Community and Richmond Foodbank do in our local community helping people in crisis (see below for details of their work).

That’s why on Thursday September 28th, we launched the Million Step Challenge to help raise crucial funds for Vineyard Community and Richmond Foodbank. During the autumn, Foot Solutions owner, Gabriel Owner (with some help from friends and supporters), will be walking one million steps in aid of  Vineyard Community and Richmond Foodbank. We got the challenge off to a great start when around 30 volunteers joined Gabriel on the 28th walking 10,000 steps around Richmond.

If you want to help, do your 10,000 steps at a convenient time for you and get your sponsors to donate via the JustGiving page. All donations go direct to Vineyard Community and Richmond Foodbank.

How to Donate

We have set an ambitious target of £10,000 for the Million Step Challenge. But, if we can raise just 1p in sponsorship for each step walked, the target will be achieved.

We know that times are difficult for and that money is tight for many people, but we’re hoping  you can help Gabriel and the other walkers achieve the target by donating whatever you can afford via the JUSTGIVING page – no sum is too small and all funds go to Vineyard Community and Richmond Foodbank.
