Join us for a life-changing challenge in support of the countless people across the UK affected by mental health problems.
Prepare to become immersed in the beautiful country and culture of Cambodia, whilst raising funds for the mental health charity of your choice.
Together, we'll roam through jungles, farms and villages, past pagodas, rice paddies and a magnificent waterfall, to the top of the sacred Kulen Mountain. At the peak, we'll have an incredible opportunity to meditate, while surrounded by serene mountain panoramas.
Along the way, we’ll camp in the grounds of a hidden jungle monastery, rest at a rustic homestay and visit a fantastic variety of local pagodas.
We'll end this unforgettable challenge by exploring the amazing temples of the Angkor Wat complex on foot.
Our Cambodian adventure will be life-changing, both for you as you achieve an awesome challenge and for the 1 in 4 people across the globe, who experience a mental health problem each year.
Walk With Me
Walk With Me aims to raise awareness of the importance of mental health and to raise vital funds for the amazing mental health charities and services across the UK that are here for us whenever we need support.
Walk With Me also aims to open up the conversation about mental health throughout the year - and our lives, to ensure that no one ever feels afraid to talk about their health and well-being and to seek support around them if they ever need it; whether that's simply to speak to friends or family or to make the most of the fantastic charities and services available.

Walk With Me in Cambodia 2022 is not designed for Olympic athletes – it is designed for people looking for an amazing goal to train and get fit for. A number of the people who will take part in this trek will have a low level of fitness when they sign up.
This challenge is the perfect motivation to get fit, while exploring one of the world's most extraordinary places and making a big impact for a vital cause.
We do strongly recommend you train for the trek and we'll send you a fantastic training plan once you sign up. This training plan builds up as time goes on, so you'll be ready and raring to go by the time we jet to Cambodia!
Please don't be! The majority of people will sign up for Walk With Me on their own. Once you've signed up for the challenge, we'll send you a link to a private Facebook group for everyone registered. Please feel free to use this space to swap questions, advice and updates with your fellow trekkers on your training and fundraising.
You may also want to reach out to the fellow participants in this group to see if there's anyone in your local area you can meet up to train and fundraise with.
Absolutely not! One of the amazing things about the challenge is that people of all ages will come together to do something very special. Everyone who is at least 18 years old by the challenge date is more than welcome to join this awesome trek in Cambodia.
You will of course need a pair of walking boots and you will need to bring your own two to three season sleeping bag.
We will supply you with a comprehensive list of everything you will need to take on the event well before your departure date.
Yes of course! If you wish to extend your stay in Cambodia, simply get in touch and we can find flight options for you.
