About this Event

Walk for Ukraine - a community walk of solidarity - 4 miles

Join us for a gentle, welcoming walk in support of the Ukrainian community on the Isle of Wight. This walk is open to Ukrainians living on the Island, as well as friends, families, and allies who wish to come together in solidarity.

Starting at Newport Quay, we’ll walk through Seaclose and along the Medina Greenway to Island Harbour. We’ll pause at The Cockle where light refreshments can be purchased, before returning to Newport along the same route.

We’ll take a relaxed pace, creating space for conversation, connection, and quiet reflection. Whether you come to meet others, share stories, or simply walk alongside the community, you’ll be warmly welcomed. This is not a challenging hike; just an opportunity to move together, enjoy the riverside setting, and show support through presence.
