We are excited to be launching our 2027 Event, reigning annual events since 2014. Walk the Walk Fashion Event is a fun filled experience for children celebrating, fashion, talent and all for a charity cause.
We hosted our first event in 2014 fundraising for Phoebe Craig and her family. Sadly at age 5 Phoebe passed from her battle with Cancer and we now host this event in her memory.
We welcome children of all ages from all over the world, Runway experience is not needed; it's a day of fun!
EVERY Child is encouraged to fundraise individually for our Charity we have had previous years full of sponsored, walks, runs, baking!
FUNDRAISING GUIDANCE - There is no right or wrong in your childs choice of fundraising, any amount small or big is a contribution towards the cause. Our charity team will be very much apart of our day and will be watching and reviewing all of the childrens efforts in the lead up to the event, specifically choosing a top 5 with consideration of their efforts and ideas not just based on a value amount. For all who sign up we guide you to set up a JustGiving campaign page and each child registers their own individual page to Naomi and Jacks within the link below:
Our collective amount will be raised to Naomi and Jack's
Naomi and Jack’s is a local independent charity that provides expert care for more than 600 seriously ill children, young adults and their families, in our two specialist centres near Winchester.
We support more than 600 families in central southern England with outstanding care, specialist short breaks (respite), play and activities, therapeutic support and bereavement support. We are always there for end of life care, with services available 24 hours, 365 days a year.
At Naomi House we provide expert medical care for babies and children, as well as the opportunity to play, have fun and experience different activities. We also support their families and siblings, to make precious memories together and receive vital respite.
Jack’s Place is the only hospice in our region that offers specialist care, support and independence for young adults. Medical developments help more seriously ill children reach adulthood, so at Jack’s Place, we continue that care, along with providing opportunities to be independent, socialise and have fun.

We encourage children to have fun in whatever way they wish to fundraise with activities, challenges and sales, on the day of our event, team members from Naomi and Jack's come along and read each childs individual contributions to our event through their hard work and they select the Names for the ways they had fun in fundraising and not by the amount they raised, our overall fundraising winner is always awarded a fantastic prize for their effort and their support.
