Step Into a Bigger Story with Move 2 Belong

About United Nations Day

‘The United Nations is a reflection of the world as it is – and an aspiration of the world we know it can be. It is our responsibility to help build that world of peace, sustainable development and human rights for all.

I know we can do it …

It (United Nations) is rooted in a spirit of determination to heal divisions, repair relations, and build peace.

To expand opportunities, and leave no one behind. 

To ensure justice, equality and empowerment for women and girls.

To provide life-saving relief to those in need.

On this United Nations Day, let us commit with hope and determination to build the better world of our aspirations.

Today is United Nations Day, the day we commit to believing and acting for a better world.

It is our heart to create a world where every Waymaker finds a place to call home and every community thrives on the rich diversity it embraces.

Today we invite you to play a part in shaping a better world for our Waymakers. These are the precious people who have fled impossible hardship to find safety and belonging in our beautiful nation, our land of opportunity. Will you join us?

Here's how 

The Move 2 Belong campaign is a physical challenge but it is about much more than physical movement—it’s a movement of the heart, where participants across schools, workplaces, and homes take up the challenge to walk in solidarity with refugees. These Waymakers, over 120 million displaced people worldwide, are on their own journey toward safety, belonging, and freedom. We walk with them.

We each have the power to change the world

With so much conflict and unrest in the world, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, powerless to create change in the face of escalating global challenges. 

But the truth is, we each have the power to make a difference—one that ripples out and helps create a kinder, more welcoming world where everyone can thrive.

As we celebrate the incredible efforts of those moving in this campaign, we reflect on the values that unite us—hope, peace, and opportunity for all. 

Every step taken and every challenge completed brings us closer to a world where borders and labels are replaced by community and compassion.

“This challenge is tough, but it’s nothing compared to the strength it takes to start over in a new country. I run to honour that courage.”

— Lily, Move 2 Belong Participant

“Every kilometre I run reminds me that small steps make a big impact—and that we all have a role in creating belonging.”

— Eddie, Move 2 Belong Participant

Together, we can!

If we all step out for change, we can create change.

The more of us who move, who take your concern and transform into action, the greater the impact.

There’s a role for you to play. 

Touch the heart of humanity

Your involvement will make all the difference. By supporting Move to Belong participants—whether through a donation, encouraging words, or sharing their stories—you make a direct impact on the lives of refugees. 

Your gift, no matter how small, aligns with values that transcend nations and touch the heart of humanity. 

As well as providing vital funds for practical work, your gift symbolises your stand for a world where everyone has the chance to belong. 

Your gift says, I care; I refuse to settle for a world where everyone doesn’t yet live in safety and belonging; I believe in a better day, and I will be part of creating it – one step at a time.

One step

Remember, the smallest contribution carries immense weight when rooted in generosity and hope. Together, we can create a brighter future for those still searching for a place to call home. We can inspire change and bring hope.

Start today

Whether you choose to give, sign up, or support someone who’s already involved, your actions matter. Let’s make a difference—one step, one story, one gift at a time.
