Giant Steps 2026 Causeway Coast Walk
Join us on Saturday, 6 June 2026, as we take GIANT STEPS together on this Causeway Coast walk to celebrate 30 years and support mental health services across Northern Ireland.
Kindly sponsored by Bell Contracts, this unforgettable charity walk in Northern Ireland will lead you along waymarked paths of the spectacular Causeway Coastline. Expect breathtaking views of dramatic sea cliffs, white sandy beaches, crashing waves below, and local wildlife along the way. After crossing the finish line, you’ll celebrate your achievement with a well-earned burger and a refreshing beer (or soft drink!).
Why Your Support Matters
In Northern Ireland, 1 in 5 people will be impacted by mental ill-health. Every step you take, and every pound you raise, will help support AWARE NI’s vital work through this mental health fundraiser, supporting people affected by depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder across the country!
Mickie, who has been supported by AWARE NI, said:
I started going to an AWARE NI mental health peer support group when I was at a really low point. Immediately, I felt welcome. To finally be among people who really understood what I was going through. The relief was wonderful. It has transformed my life.
