Signing up to the Home-Start Hike is your chance to make a real difference for families in Suffolk who are struggling. Whether you walk 3 or 13 miles, every step helps raise vital funds so parents don’t have to face tough times alone. It’s also a great way to enjoy the outdoors, connect with others, and take in the stunning Suffolk countryside — all while supporting a cause that helps children get the best start in life.

Hike distances & start times

With four scenic routes to choose from, the Home-Start Hike offers a chance to immerse yourself in the breathtaking Suffolk countryside.

All hike routes will start and finish at Kingfisher Leisure Centre, in Sudbury
