LifeWalk is back — and 2026 is a big one
Saturday 30th May, 2026
This year we’re celebrating 30 years of LifeHouse Care walking alongside our community, and 5 years of LifeWalk bringing people together in a simple but powerful way.
We’re stepping into something new.
A brand new accessible route. Along one of Coffs’ most beautiful coastal stretches
Start & finish at Jetty Reserve (no shuttle needed!)
Bacon & Egg Rolls, Hot Coffee, Great Community Connection and a vibing live band to set the scene for the event.
Registrations are now open
Bring your friends, your family, your work crew — and be part of something that makes a real difference in our community.
Every dollar raised through LifeWalk directly supports local individuals and families doing it tough with real, practical care and support through our CareHouse on Earl St, Coffs Harbour.
Join. Donate. Walk.
What is LifeWalk?
LifeWalk is LifeHouse Care’s annual community fundraiser, where we come together to connect, encourage, and build community while walking a section of our beautiful Coffs Harbour coastline.
We kick off with music, coffee, and bacon & egg rolls, then set off from the Jetty Reserve, along the North Wall to the base of Muttonbird Island, pause to take it in, and stroll back together. Step by step. Side by side.
LifeWalk is about more than walking—it’s about walking alongside our community. Rising costs make life hard for many local families and individuals. 50% of funds raised go directly to practical relational support, helping people take their next step forward, while the other 50% supports LifeHouse Care’s ongoing programs.
We finish with a sausage sizzle, conversation, and celebration, sharing hope and encouragement. LifeWalk is our way of stepping forward together—for the wellbeing and thriving of our community.
There are three ways you can get involved in LifeWalk.

Yes, all ages and walks of life are welcome to join the walk. Walkers walk at their own pace.

We are asking anyone who brings their dog/furry to please keep them on-leash at all times.
Where do I park my car?
There is ample parking around the Jetty Reserve Area, we encourage you to park close to the event (where the Jetty Carnival is held) and if needed, please use the Marina Dr or the Jordan Esplanade pedestrian crossing if parking across the road.

How will the community be helped through the funds raised?
Funds raised will be focused in continuing the support LifeHouse Care provides in our community through our CareHouse in Earl Street, Coffs Harbour.
50% of funds raised go directly to practical relational support, helping people take their next step forward in a safe, family-friendly space in the centre of town.
While the other 50% will help us continue providing the vital crisis support we've offered the Coffs Coast community since 1996.
Support can look like Personal Crisis Intervention, Food Assistance, Pharmacy, Clothing & Furniture, Utility Support, Advocacy & Referrals
What if it’s raining & the weather is wild ?
As long as it is safe, we will continue. Though if the weather is too wild, we do have a contingency plan in place and will contact you.
Contingency Plan?
If it’s wild weather and unsafe to walk, we’ve got a fun backup plan ready to go!
LifeWalk will shift to our Coffs Hub behind the LifeHouse Care Op Shop at 169A Orlando Street, where we’ll keep the vibes alive with live music, hot B&E rolls, great coffee, dancing, laughter and community connection.
How do I go about fundraising?
Step 1. Register!
Follow the prompts and you will receive a Fundraising Pack (your very own social media sharing link and an email with fundraising ideas!)
Can I participate as part of a group?
That’s a great idea!
Making it a group gig is a great way to enjoy time together while contributing to the wellbeing of our community. You can walk with your bestie, work mates, gym buddies, Aunt Mavis, or your fave furry friend!
What should I bring on the day?
