What is The Big Little Walk?
‘The Big Little Walk’ is a 4km walk designed especially for families and children under 12.
Starting at Seacombe and finishing at New Brighton, families will follow a fun, encouraging route filled with small moments of joy along the way, while raising funds for people with disabilities across Merseyside.
It’s not about speed or distance. It’s about completing something meaningful and feeling proud at the finish.
What to expect on the day
Expect a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere where children can move at their own pace.
Along the route, you’ll find playful moments designed for little legs – from bubbles and high-fives to photo stops and surprises.
- Walk, skip or stroll
- Take breaks when you need
- Celebrate every step
Ideal for families and groups
The Big Little Walk is perfect for:
- Families with children aged 0–12
- Schools and PTAs

- Friends walking together
Whether you’re joining as a family or a group, this is a shared experience that brings people together through kindness.
Follow our 4km Kindness Route – with simple, playful moments at every stage to keep little legs motivated and smiling.
