Walk for wagec
The event is on the 4th May, 2025.
We want our community to come together to call for an end to the national domestic violence crisis.
This year is set to be the biggest Walk on record, with something exciting in store for everyone. From great local food options, music to keep you energised and fun activities for our littlest walkers – perfect for the whole family.
