Sixteen days of walking to raise

awareness of rural domestic abuse

29 October 2026

Community Development Action Hertfordshire will be staging 16 walks across the county next month to raise awareness of rural domestic abuse.

The campaign, which builds on the success of the 2025 event, is designed to bring people together, start conversations and help make domestic abuse support more visible in rural communities.

Domestic abuse in rural areas can be difficult to spot, and even more challenging to address, with traditional mainstream support services often only available in larger towns and cities.

The first walk sets off on Wednesday 25 November, with a different route planned for each day until the final outing on Thursday 10 December.

People wishing to take part, or just find out more, are encouraged to visit the CDA Herts website at www.cdaherts.org.uk.
