Abbeyfield House New Malden - Make Home Feel Like Home for Everyone

Event dates:

Sonia Linda and Elaine is raising money for Abbeyfield Society

My story

Why We’re Walking

Starting this week, Sonia and Linda will be walking 2 miles every weekday until 31st May 2025. They’re doing this to raise awareness for some of the most vulnerable residents at Abbeyfield House — those who have no family support and very limited funds.

Elaine is also joining the cause in her own way by walking to work every day, choosing to step forward for others instead of taking public transport.
We’re walking to show that we care — and to remind everyone that no one at Abbeyfield should ever feel left behind or forgotten.

Every step we take is for those who can’t.
Every mile is a message of support.

At Abbeyfield House New Malden, we care for residents who arrive with little more than their memories. While we provide a safe and supportive home, many have no access to the personal comforts or small joys that make life truly meaningful.
Without family or personal funds, some residents go without essentials — like haircuts, or the chance to enjoy outings, music, or birthday celebrations. These are the things that bring dignity, connection, and happiness.

Your Support Can Make a Difference

With your help, we can provide:

  • Access to meaningful activities, music therapy, and community outings
  • Birthday celebrations and small gifts
  • Items that boost emotional and mental wellbeing

Together, we can ensure every resident feels valued, included, and truly at home — no matter their financial situation.

Because at Abbeyfield House New Malden, no one should feel forgotten.

💙 105 Miles in May – Inspired by My Team 💪

This month, I was truly inspired by three remarkable colleagues — Sonia, Linda, and Elaine — who committed to walking almost daily to raise funds for our residents at Abbeyfield House.

Watching their dedication moved me to contribute in my own way… from the gym.
So I tracked every session — treadmill, bike, arc trainer — and added my own challenge:

📍 105.56 miles logged
⏱️ 15 hours of active training
🔥 7,400+ calories burned

This wasn’t just about fitness — it was about solidarity, shared purpose, and supporting the people we care for and work alongside every day.

To my team: you are phenomenal. Your passion and consistency lifted others — including me.

This is what Abbeyfield is all about.
One team. One purpose. One powerful impact.

✨ We Did It! ✨

Today marks the final day of our walking challenge—and we’re proud (and a little emotional!) to say… mission accomplished!

We, Sonia, Linda and Elaine, set out at the start of May with a simple goal: to walk every weekday, at least 2 miles a day, in support of the residents at Abbeyfield House. Whether it was through parks, along busy streets, or to and from work—we walked with purpose.

Thanks to your incredible support, encouragement, and generosity, not only did we meet our fundraising target of £1,000—we exceeded it! Every pound raised will directly benefit the residents we care so deeply about, and we couldn’t be more thankful.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who cheered us on, donated, or walked beside us (physically or virtually!). This wasn’t just about miles—it was about community, love, and giving something back.

The smiles, the memories, the photos, and the difference we’re making together will stay with us forever. 💙

With love and gratitude,
Sonia, Linda & Elaine

Everyday Miles That Matter – Elaine’s Thursday Walk 🚦👣

Another day, another determined journey from Elaine, who walked to and from work again on Thursday—making even the most routine paths part of something bigger.

From crossing the road at green lights to brisk strides along familiar streets, Elaine’s contribution is a reminder that fundraising doesn’t always happen in big bursts—sometimes it’s built on steady, intentional steps like hers.

Wrapped in her coat and ready for duty, she continues to inspire us with her dedication and quiet leadership.

Thank you, Elaine—for showing that commitment comes in all forms. 🙌

Into the Woods – Monday & Tuesday Adventures!

This week, Sonia and Linda kicked things off with two beautiful walks through the leafy trails of Green Lane and the surrounding woodlands.

Monday’s walk was full of lush greenery, winding paths, and peaceful river views—complete with a selfie by the stream to capture the moment.

On Tuesday, they ventured even deeper into nature, ducking under low branches and navigating overgrown trails—Hope leading the way in her bright red jumper like a true explorer!

Their route once again took them through Green Lane Recreation Ground and beyond, marking consistent miles toward our goal and sharing smiles all the way.

Rain or shine, clear paths or overgrown ones—Team Abbeyfield keeps going strong!

Steps, Smiles & Strong Starts – Monday & Tuesday Highlights!

This week is off to a fantastic start with back-to-back efforts from our wonderful team!

On Monday and Tuesday, Sonia and Linda kept the momentum going with more scenic walks—this time exploring Elmbridge Meadows and the peaceful trails around Green Lane Recreation Ground. Joined by Hope and powered by sunshine and determination, they continue to set the pace for our fundraising challenge.

On Tuesday morning, Emanuela added a personal boost with a 2.48 miles run through Mostyn Park, showing how every effort—whether it's early morning or after hours—brings us closer to our shared goal.

Together, we’re building something powerful—one step at a time.
