Hospitality Action's flagship Walk for Wellbeing returns this October, bringing hospitality professionals together across the UK to champion mental wellbeing and raise vital funds for colleagues facing challenging times. Now in its seventh year, the nationwide initiative is expanding to two new locations and members of The Society of the Golden Keys are warmly welcome to participate.

A Nationwide Movement

Powered by hospitality talent and recruitment partner mum, this year’s event will introduce new hosted walks in Hampshire and Suffolk, alongside established events in London, Manchester, Birmingham and Edinburgh, bringing the total number of locations taking part across the UK to fourteen. You can find all the locations here.

Since launching in 2020, Walk for Wellbeing has grown into a nationwide movement. Last year alone, more than 1,400 participants raised £170,000 for Hospitality Action's wellbeing and support services. The event unites hospitality businesses and professionals across the country, highlighting the importance of connection, support and community while helping teams boost morale and employee wellbeing.

In 2025 a dedicated team of Golden Keys members generously volunteered their time to support the London Walk for Wellbeing, playing a key role in its success.

Simone Caretti, The Society’s Business Affiliate liaison said: “Volunteering at last year’s Walk for Wellbeing was a fantastic experience. The committee and I loved being part of such a well-organised event and meeting so many people from across the industry. The day perfectly captured the spirit of hospitality and the strength of our community. I can’t recommend it enough, sign up, get involved and help raise vital funds for a brilliant cause, Hospitality Action”.

Everyone in the hospitality industry and beyond is invited to lace up their walking shoes and come together for this inclusive charity event which celebrates mental health and wellbeing through raising critical funds required to support individuals and their families in the hospitality sector facing challenging times.
