STEPtember Challenge 2026!

This September, we’re lacing up our shoes and stepping out for a cause close to our hearts. St Pat's is taking on STEPtember to raise vital funds for the Singapore Council of Women's Organisations (SCWO), which advocates for 'Equal Space, Equal Voice and Equal Worth' for women in Singapore!

You will remember this wonderful charity from our Charity Dress Swap event in October 2024, where we raised much-needed funds to help support their mission of equality for women in Singapore! We are delighted to continue with this partnership during our STEPtember challenge.

Last year, we exceeded our goals by walking 10,501,951 steps and raising $ 5,000 for the AFC crisis centre!

This year, we are challenging ourselves to beat this record by walking 11,000,000 steps and raising $5,500!

What will the money raised go to?

The Singapore Council of Women’s Organisations (SCWO) is the national umbrella body for women’s organisations in Singapore, representing more than 60 member organisations. Guided by its vision of “Equal Space, Equal Voice and Equal Worth”, SCWO advocates for gender equality while providing vital support to women and families in need. Its services include:

- Star Shelter, a crisis shelter for women and children affected by family violence

- Maintenance Support Central, helping women navigate maintenance and financial claims

- Essential services such as counselling, legal assistance and skills-training programmes that help survivors regain their independence

Every step and every dollar counts. The Irish are known worldwide for their generosity and community spirit. Let’s show it once again — step by step, side by side.
