Participants

Every day, people sleeping rough in Auckland walk as far as 17 kilometres to access essentials like food, a safe place to sleep, medical help and somewhere to wash. That's not easy.

Join us for The Big Mission Home, a 17 kilometre sponsored walk to raise funds for the Auckland City Mission - Te Tāpui Atawhai to provide vital support for those who need it most, no matter how far they have walked.

The finish line is HomeGround, the Mission's hub in the CBD, but where you start is up to you.  Follow one of our routes or pick your own, fly solo or walk in a team - however you get there, you'll be making a difference for those who need us most.

Every dollar raised through The Big Mission Home will help us provide nutritious kai, specialist health care, permanent homes and a supportive community for people experiencing homelessness or poverty.

On Saturday 23rd March 2024, hundreds of people from across Auckland will take on The Big Mission Home and walk in support of those in our city who are in greatest need.

Will you walk for people like Kevin?

Kevin is no stranger to sleeping rough, having spent more than half his lifetime living in temporary structures in the CBD. Rain or shine, Kevin would walk as far as 17 kilometres in a day for kai, to get to work, and to meet up with his mates.

For streeties like Kevin, the Mission offers practical support - like freshly-cooked, nutritious meals, hot showers, medical care and substance use withdrawal support - and a warm welcome 365 days a year.

In August 2022, Kevin moved into one of the 80 new apartments at HomeGround. After 30 years, Kevin finally has a permanent place to call home - along with 24/7 access to support services and a thriving community.
