Get your steps in 18-24 May


Get your steps in and support young people from low-income backgrounds to stride into a brighter future.

Get your steps in is a simple, inclusive fundraising step challenge running from 18–24 May, we are inviting colleagues to walk as part of their normal day in support of the EY Foundation. Take part as a team or individually.

More than 2 million young people in England are eligible for Free School Meals. That’s why we’re walking more than 2 million steps and fundraising — turning our everyday steps into collective impact for young people.

Over seven days, EY colleagues will collectively walk 2.5 million steps, creating a virtual journey between EY offices across the UK, starting and finishing at 1 More London Place.
