Easy ways to boost your impact
Get creative
Set yourself a mini goal like walking extra miles, wearing your Walk a Mile merch proudly, or adding a challenge twist to your fundraising journey.
Turn your miles into meaning
Use your daily walks during National Homelessness Week (3–9 August) as a chance to reflect, connect and raise awareness of homelessness in your community.
Start with your first donation
Kick things off by donating to your own page. It sets the tone and shows others you’re serious about making a difference.
Share your page
Tell your story. Share your fundraising page with friends, family, colleagues and your wider network. Every share helps grow your impact.
For Schools
Bring your school community together
Casual clothes days, class challenges or house competitions are a simple way to raise funds while teaching empathy, connection and community spirit.
Get student leaders involved
Student leaders and SRC groups can help champion Walk a Mile in My Boots, encouraging participation and helping spread the message across your school.
Share the story at assembly
Use school assemblies to talk about Walk a Mile in My Boots, share your goals, and encourage others to get involved or donate.
Make your Walk a Mile moment count
Whether you walk together or individually, use the community walk day (Friday 7 August) as a moment to come together in solidarity with thousands across South Australia.
For Workplaces
Share a moment together
Host a morning tea or team catch-up during National Homelessness Week to bring people together and raise awareness (and funds) in a simple way.
Add friendly competition
Create a little workplace challenge between teams or departments — a shared goal can bring energy, connection and fun to your fundraising.
Explore matching support
If possible, ask your organisation about matching employee donations to help double the impact of your team’s efforts.
