A nationwide movement for scoliosis awareness, support and community

Scoliosis Awareness Month 2026 will be remembered as something truly special.

This year, we launched Walk Together, an evolution of our previous Step for Scoliosis campaign and what it became exceeded everything we could have imagined.

What was planned as an awareness initiative turned into a powerful nationwide movement of connection, support, and fundraising.

Across the UK, 600 people took part in 16 locations, walking together in solidarity for everyone affected by scoliosis.

Together, we raised over £33,000, our biggest community fundraising total to date outside of major challenge events.

🌍 Walk Together Locations

Walk Together took place across the UK in:

London
Cambridge
Cardiff
Nottingham

Isle of Wight

Brighton
Glasgow

Every location brought its own energy, stories, and sense of community, but all shared one purpose: no one facing scoliosis alone.

💙 The power of community

From first-time walkers to returning supporters, families, friends, and individuals living with scoliosis came together in an incredibly moving show of unity.

Many locations saw participants connecting for the first time with others who truly understood their journey, something that has already sparked conversations about more regular local meet-ups in future.

🌟 Fundraising impact

What makes this year even more remarkable is the scale of fundraising alongside awareness.

Walk Together raised over £33,000, making it one of our most successful awareness-month campaigns ever.

This funding will go directly towards:

• Supporting people living with scoliosis and their families
• Funding vital research and awareness initiatives
• Strengthening our community networks and resources

Every pound raised helps ensure that no one faces scoliosis alone.

🤝 Volunteers making it possible

Walk Together simply wouldn’t have been possible without our amazing volunteer hosts across all locations.

From planning routes to welcoming participants on the day, their energy and commitment helped create safe, supportive and uplifting events nationwide.

We are incredibly proud of every single host and volunteer who helped bring Walk Together to life.

Looking ahead

Walk Together has shown what’s possible when a community comes together.

With growing engagement, new volunteer networks, and increasing demand for local connection, we are now exploring ways to run smaller, more regular Walk Together meet-ups throughout the year.

This is just the beginning.

💙 Thank you

To every participant, fundraiser, volunteer, supporter, and donor – thank you.

Walk Together 2026 has been a landmark moment for Scoliosis Support & Research, and it has set the tone for what is shaping up to be our most impactful year yet.

We can’t wait to do it all again next year.

Walk Together 2027 – see you there.
