One Small Step Pub Walk, 12 July 2025
Our One Small Step Pub Walk 2025, proudly raising money for Foundation for Prader-Willi Research. This year is set to be our biggest yet, and we want you to be a part of it as we aim to make history.
We are delighted to be organising our 11th annual charity pub walk for the Foundation for Prader-Willi Research UK on the 12th July 2025. So far, with our combined efforts we have raised just over a £167,000 and we would love to continue to see this figure grow. The research the FPWR UK finances is imperative to making the lives of those affected by Prader-Willi Syndrome more manageable.
Not only is this a wonderful day for our pubs and the local community but it’s a great chance to catch up with friends (whilst getting your steps in!) and to raise money for this important charity, that is so close to our hearts. You, along with your friends and family, can be part of the big day – we’ll provide breakfast, lunch, snacks, and everything else that will help you get through the big day: all you need to do is enter, and bring your walking shoes.
This year’s event is on Saturday 12th July and will follow the same format as last year. Registration opens at 9.30am at the Fletchers Arms ready to set off at 10.30am.
The day will include a pub pit stop at the Spread Eagle & lunch at the Puss in Boots, finishing with a celebration party at the Jolly Sailor.
There will be a raffle, DJ, bouncy castle & more…
We really hope to see some familiar faces there again, as well as many new walkers. We would love you to invite friends and family to help us make this event even bigger and better than last year!

One Small Step 2025 Frequently Asked Questions
For adults and children over 11, entry to the One Small Step charity walk is £18 a ticket. This price includes everything you need on the day:
– A One Small Step t-shirt,
– Breakfast at the Fletchers Arms, Denton
– Snacks at the Spread Eagle, Romiley
– Lunch at the Puss in Boots, Offerton
– A £10 donation that goes straight to charity

Infants under 4 are free of charge; infant t-shirts are available to purchase for £5. Please contact [email protected] or buy on the morning at the Fletchers Arms (sizes may be limited).
The route was planned to be scenic and as enjoyable as possible and, as a result, is mainly off-road. There are styles, narrow/ overgrown pathways, and uneven surfaces…just to make it that little bit more challenging! The route may therefore be difficult for cyclists, wheelchair users and children in prams/ buggies (although definitely doable with some helping hands!).
There will be no charge for anyone only completing part of the walk, however, please note that all refreshments and food will need to be paid for as normal. For anyone wanting to get in the spirit, One Small Step T-shirts will be available to purchase for £5 at all of the pubs. All money from the sale of the t-shirts will go straight to the FPWR UK.
We would recommend if only completing a shorter version that it is better to complete the later sections so you get to cross the finish line and enjoy the party atmosphere at Jolly Sailor.
If you have your t-shirt from last year then please do bring it along to wear as this will save the charity significant money.
Yes of course! Please let us know your requirements in the sign-up form so that we can arrange for this to be available at the Puss in Boots (You will be given a different coloured ticket so that the pub can easily see your requirements). You can see our full vegan/vegetarian menu here, and our NGI menu here.
Yes of course, please just let us know so that we can arrange for your payment to be refunded. In the past we’ve found many of you have been generous when unable to attend and have donated your fee (thank you!!). If you’re unable to attend but would still like to donate your fee then please let us know as soon as you can. This way we can easily ensure the full fee goes to charity and we may be able to fill your spaces again.
Just let us know, you can either pick up their t-shirt and meal ticket from registration or we can arrange for it to be left at a pub of your choice.
We’ve found the best way to fundraise is through Just Giving. You can fundraise through Just Giving in two ways.
1 – Set up your own Just Giving page. This way you’ll know how much you personally have contributed to the charity.
2 – Share our general Just Giving page between your friends and family. This saves you the job of setting it up but will make it more difficult for you to work out how much you’ve raised.
Our general Just Giving page will be up and running soon, which we will send the link out for once we have it.
You can download a paper sponsor form by following this link and print your own or pop in to one of the pubs, where we will have them available for you to pick up.
Yes, please just pop in to any Almond Family Pub and speak to the manager who can sign you up and take your payment
