Future2 Annual Steps Challenge

Walk the Wall

Each year, Australians across the country lace up their shoes and step up for a cause that matters.

The Future2 Steps Challenge is Future2’s annual fundraising initiative, a movement that brings individuals and teams together to walk, connect, and raise vital funds for Australians in need.

In 2026, we’re inviting you to Walk the Wall – both physically and virtually.

You can join our in-person team for an unforgettable guided trek along the Great Wall of China, or get your colleagues involved in the month-long virtual steps challenge, where your team will track their steps and conquer the Wall together from anywhere in Australia.

Whether you’re trekking the real terrain or stepping it out digitally, you’ll be part of a united mission to support Australians in need.

Two ways to walk

Walk the Great Wall

Take on the adventure of a lifetime. Join fellow fundraisers on a guided trek along the Great Wall of China. A 7-day, in-person hiking challenge that’s both physically and emotionally unforgettable.

Walk the Virtual Wall

Take on a month-long virtual journey along the Great Wall via an app. Designed with businesses and teams in mind, this remote-friendly challenge promotes wellbeing, purpose, and impact.

Why it matters

Right now, thousands of Australians are being held back by financial hardship, social exclusion, and a lack of opportunity.

Every step you take, and every dollar you raise, supports Future2’s Make the Difference! Grants, to fund grassroots projects that empower people with:

> Financial literacy and money management skills

> Mentorship, training and pathways to employment

> Life-changing support from local organisations who believe in them

 

Together, we’re walking toward a future where every person has the chance to thrive.
