No one should have to walk alone 

Welcome Walk: on 15 June, join us as we walk in compassion and solidarity — because no one should have to face hardship alone. 

Thousands of people seeking asylum in Queensland have escaped war, persecution, severe hardship or disaster — only to face homelessness, isolation, and the constant fear of being sent back. The Welcome Walk is your chance to stand with them, to say “you are not alone,” and to help raise vital funds for housing, food relief, English classes, mental health support, employment programs, and art classes that promote healing and connection. 

Register today as an individual or gather your friends, family, or colleagues to walk together for a more welcoming Australia. 

Date: Sunday, 15 June 2025 
Location: Orleigh Park (Area 2), West End 
Time: Starts at 1:00pm, Registration opens at 12:45pm, walk begins at 1:15pm 

Don’t miss the moving story shared by our clients after the walk, along with live performances that celebrate strength, resilience, and diversity.
