**Registrations for Long Walk Home 2019 are now open!**

Long Walk Home is a 28km fundraising walk from Parramatta to Kings Cross, raising money to support Wayside Chapel and people experiencing homelessness.

Did you know in an average week, a person sleeping rough walks a distance of 28km looking for a place to sleep? Tonight as you head home, over 116,000 people won’t have a place to call home. Some will be wandering through the city, looking for a place to rest their head for the night, desperate for a safe space or shelter. A park bench is sometimes the only option.

Take steps to help people experiencing homelessness with Long Walk Home.

Register Now Long Walk Home is proudly supported by NRMA Insurance.

Wayside Walks is a tour unlike any you’ll ever find in a guide book. It takes people around Kings Cross and Elizabeth Bay where Andrew points out spots of significance along the way – the places where he slept and ate, other charities that are in the area and moments of how he came to know Wayside so well.

The host is Wayside employee and former rough sleeper, Andrew Windsor, who draws on his own experiences of homelessness and addiction to provide people with a rare insight into street life.
