Grab your Dog, your mates, and your walking shoes.
It's time to move for Animals!
1–31 October 2026
No route, no rules, just steps that matter
STEPS FOR ANIMALS
STEPS FOR ANIMALS
the WHOLE COMMUNITY ON THE MOVE for animals
This isn't your average fundraiser walk. There's no whistle, no start line, no clipboard wielding organiser telling you where to be.
This October, we're throwing the rulebook out & inviting our WHOLE community to get moving however that looks for you.
Walk your Dog round the block. Hit your favourite trail. Do the school run with a little extra pep in your step.
It ALL counts.
Taz will be clocking up steps doing what she does best — being out & about, hands-on, in the thick of the everyday Gypsea Tails magic. Come join her from wherever you already are! Pick a goal. Count your steps. Rope in everyone you know.
Let's make this the biggest, boldest, most joyful step-count the South West has ever seen:
Goal: 100,000 steps
ONE PASSIONATE COMMUNITY.
LET'S GOOO!
Every single step is a tail wag of momentum behind real, on the ground change for Animals right here in our own backyards.

WHY I NEED YOU IN ON THIS
heart felt message from Taz
YOUR STEPS = REAL CHANGE FOR ANIMALS
No head office or red tape. Just local people & local businesses rolling up their sleeves for Animals because somebody's got to, & we're not waiting around.
Every step & every dollar keeps this grassroots movement running.
WHAT YOUR STEPS WILL SUPPORT:
✓ Growing our incredible on-ground crew — keeping Georgia going strong & welcoming Vanessa
to the team!
✓ Fuel & travel to reach Animals right across the South West
✓ Perth trips for learning, levelling up & mentoring with Dr Liam Clay
✓ Rolling up our sleeves at events like the York Animal-rescue busy bee
✓ Research, submissions, consultations & advocacy that actually move the needle
✓ Community outreach & education that changes hearts & minds
✓ Growing Animals Matter through RMR 101.9 FM & beyond
✓ Educational resources, printing & materials
✓ Showing up, again & again, for Dogs, rescue Animals & the people who love them
Steps for Animals is 100% a Gypsea Tails fundraiser — proudly local, proudly grassroots. This is fuel for the hands-on work already happening for education, prevention, advocacy & better outcomes for Dogs, rescue Animals and our wider community.

THIS IS BIGGER THAN ONE MONTH
Steps for Animals fuels the ongoing, ground-level work behind Animals Matter — Taz's passion project bringing real conversations about animal welfare, advocacy & education to the South West through RMR 101.9 FM & beyond. October is the spark.
The work keeps going all year.
Fuel the Next Chapter of animal advocacy in our community
We put every dollar to work immediately—funding supplies, training, and support that Dog owner’s count on. Give what feels right, and together we’ll make a difference.
LET'S MAKE OCTOBER UNFORGETTABLE
This is grassroots, joyful & wildly community powered. A whole Dog loving community deciding to show up for Animals, one happy step at a time.
Set your goal, lace up & let's prove what we can do together.
