Unlock London Walk Planning Team (Voluntary)
- Tim & Sarah Watkins-Idle
- Geoff Coggins
- Ian Smith and Alison Gelder
A small team of volunteers plans the Unlock London Walk each year; they recruit the local churches, create the map and photos and collate all of the travel and tourist information that goes with it, as well as staffing the event on the day of the walk.
They need some new people to join them to help to make the next Unlock London Walks some of the best yet.
If you live within easy reach of London, care about supporting Unlock’s work and have an interest in urban walking - better still if you are already an Unlock Walker and want to help to create the magic that is the Unlock London walk for the future, please contact the Unlock National Office
Unlock on the World Stage!
Unlock was invited to facilitate

Malaysia. Thanks to the Slavanka Trust, who generously provided all the necessary
finance, two Unlock staff led an Unlock workshop at this international mission
consultation.
