The ZSA Step Challenge has something for everyone, accessible to all fitness levels and abilities. You can choose your own distance or step count and set your own targets! No distance is too short or too long when it comes to supporting a cause.

Raising funds for ZSA
We want to empower, equip, and educate individuals and organisations to support suicide awareness and prevention through our free online training and resources.
We want to raise awareness of suicide, challenge stigma and make suicide prevention something everyone feels they can get involved in.
Funding in 2024 has already allowed us to launch the redevelopment of ZSA's Online Suicide Awareness Training - a short, free, online course that can be taken by anyone who wants to learn basic suicide awareness and prevention skills. Within the first month of launching, 20,000 people had already completed this training.
With your donations we can continue to deliver free, accessible training opportunities so more people can learn vital skills and confidence to talk to someone struggling with suicidal thoughts.
Ready to step up? Whether you’re seasoned steppers, are looking to move more independently, or love any excuse to have fun with your friends and/or colleagues and wish to make this a team effort, The ZSA Step Challenge is a great way to connect with others and make a meaningful impact.
