Local residents are invited to lace up their walking shoes on Saturday 12 September for Move4Change, a family-friendly fundraising event supporting Crosslight Advice, the charity working to lift people out of poverty and financial crisis across west London.

Crosslight Advice provides vital, free support to some of the most marginalised people in society. Through comprehensive debt and benefits advice, money education, budgeting coaching, and holistic mentoring, the charity helps individuals regain stability, build financial resilience, and move towards a more secure future.

Move4Change offers participants a scenic 10km walk along the Thames Path, starting at St Paul’s Church in Hammersmith, heading to Chiswick, and looping back. The route is designed for all ages and abilities, making it an ideal day out for families, friends, and community groups who want to make a meaningful difference while enjoying one of London’s most beautiful riverside stretches.

After completing the walk, supporters will return to St Paul’s for a celebratory afternoon tea, complete with entertainment and a raffle featuring a range of prizes. It’s a chance to come together, celebrate the community spirit behind the event, and learn more about how their contributions help people facing debt and financial hardship.

The Aviva Community Fund will be matching every single individual donation made up to £250. The match funding campaign opens on 8 August and runs for six weeks only, giving supporters an opportunity to double the impact of their donation.

Funds raised through Move4Change play a crucial role in keeping Crosslight’s services accessible to those who need them most. With demand for debt advice and financial mentoring continuing to rise, every participant helps ensure the charity can reach more households struggling with rising costs and financial instability.

Articles such as the one above are integral to what we do. We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets. We’ve always done that and won’t be changing, in fact we’d like to do more. However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do. We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area. A suggested monthly payment is £8 but we would be grateful for any amount for instance if you think this site offers the equivalent value of a subscription to a daily printed newspaper you may wish to consider £20 per month. If neither of these amounts is suitable for you then contact info@neighbournet.com and we can set up an alternative. All payments are made through a secure web site. One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute. If you do support us in this way we’d be interested to hear what kind of articles you would like to see more of on the site – send your suggestions to the editor. For businesses we offer the chance to be a corporate sponsor of community content on the site. For £30 plus VAT per month you will be the designated sponsor of at least one article a month with your logo appearing if supplied.
