The Big Nacoa Walk is back for 2024! A beautiful 21 mile trek through the Manifold Valley and Dovedale in the Derbyshire Peak District. All in aid of children affected by a parent’s drinking.

It means the world to Nacoa to get this event back on the road after its momentous return in 2023. It is special, more than just a wonderful team fundraising event.

The walk was stunning and the atmosphere was amazing and supportive. I’ve never been so moved by a fundraising event in my whole life!
