Walk for Joy by O'Joy is O'Joy's flagship fundraising campaign that brings people together through walking, storytelling and giving. From 22 July to 30 September, participants can walk, run or hike anywhere while raising funds to support O'Joy's mental wellness, counselling, community care and active ageing programmes.
Mental wellness is everyone's journey. Through Walk for Joy by O'Joy, O'Joy aims to raise awareness, encourage conversations about mental wellness, and raise funds so that more people can access counselling, community support and programmes that promote emotional well-being and healthy ageing.
Everyone is welcome! Whether you're an individual, family, school, community group or company, you can join Walk for Joy by O'Joy. Participants under 18 should register with the consent of a parent or guardian.
Registration & Walk Period: 22 July to 30 September
Campaign Ends: 30 September
