Family Activity Days

Summer Picnic

Our FASD Awareness Family Summer Picnic was a fantastic day, bringing families and carers, together to enjoy fun activities, friendship, and community connection. It was wonderful to see so many people sharing experiences, making memories, and supporting one another in a relaxed and welcoming environment. A huge thank you to everyone who attended, volunteered, and helped make the day such a success. Your support helps strengthen our FASD community and makes events like these possible.

Fundraising

Step Up for FASD

This September, as part of FASD Awareness Month and the global #RedShoesRock campaign, families, friends, and supporters of FASD Awareness will be taking part in a special 5K fundraising walk at Leeds Castle, Kent. Led by children and adults living with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), this inspiring event aims to raise awareness, challenge misconceptions, and celebrate the strengths and resilience of those affected by FASD.

Help Us Reach Our Target

We have set an ambitious fundraising target and are delighted that two of our amazing fundraisers have already smashed to their personal targets! Their efforts are helping to build momentum, but we still need your support to help all our walkers reach their targets and maximise the impact of this event.

You Can Help Too

Even if you can't join us on the day, you can still make a difference by supporting our walkers. 🧡 Make a donation to the campaign 🧡 Share our fundraising pages with family and friends 🧡 Help raise awareness of FASD in your community. Every donation helps us create greater understanding, acceptance, and support. Together, we walk for FASD. Together, we rock red shoes. Donate today and help make every step count.
