🌍 Our Journey: Events & Impact
Welcome to our Events Blog — a living diary of the places we’ve roamed, the challenges we’ve faced, and the difference we’ve made together.
Here, you’ll discover stories from our fundraisers, community walks, talk groups, challenge days, awareness campaigns, and the exciting events we have planned. We share where we’ve been, what inspired us, and the amazing people who came together — not just to help themselves grow stronger, but to selflessly support others along the way.
You’ll also see the real impact of our journey: the funds we’ve raised, the local and national mental health initiatives we’ve supported, and the partners and volunteers who made it all possible.
Every event is more than a date on the calendar — it’s a step forward in our mission to break stigmas, build genuine connections, and show that when we rise and roam together, we create lasting change.
Come see where we’ve been — and get inspired to join us on our next adventure! 🌱✨

✨ Rise & Roam Walk to London!
✏️ This was our first fundraising idea, to help spread awareness of who we are, and our goal at Rise & Roam.
📍 Where & When:
✏️ 12th June 2025, Leaving the Norwich Forum - London Eye.
👥 Who Was Involved:
✏️ Myself Garry Caswell and fellow CIC Directors Joel Pickford & Chris Dack with our friend Dave Tye. Most importantly our transport, goods and support driver, Sarah Mulhearn.
💡 What We Did:
✏️ We decided to push ourselves, putting ourselves into a position we knew would be hard, knowing we will have to dig deep, knowing it was probably going to be painful at times, and doing it anyway! To see how deep we can dig when times get tough, to try and see how resilient we really are when times get tough! But knowing with the right people around you, creating to right support network anything is achievable!
💰 Impact & Funds Raised:
✏️ For our walk we set up a GoFundMe online. We managed to raise a total £2,311.00 online, and a total of £223.60 in cash donations too! All this will go into helping create support groups and opportunities for people, to help rebuild peoples confidence moving forward.
❤️ Why It Matters:
✏️ We did this event for multiple reasons. Firstly to raise awareness of who we are, Rise & Roam. Secondly to openly speak out and make people aware of the unfortunate events of men struggling with their mental health. Doing this challenge showed people that we are wanting and willing to put ourselves into challenging events to help us grow within ourselves too!

🌱 Looking Ahead:
✏️ Whats Next? So now we have made a noise, and people know who we are, what we stand for, and what we want to do, our goal is to start our Rise & Roam - Walk and Talk groups. A GUYS only safe place, to come along, surround yourself with like minded people and create a place to support and help one another.
