Words of caution, a lot of the long distance routes are in areas of low population with businesses dependent to some extent on people walking the routes. The WHW is a typical example of this as once you are out of Milgngavie just look at the accommodations/facilities along the route; they have sprung up around a day's typical walking distance. If anyone offered accomodation for free they would be inundated even if they restricted it to people raising money for charity.
I live on the ultimate long distance route (round Britain) and will occasionally accommodate or offer accommodation to circumnavigators but usually through a personal contact/recommendation.
That said, good luck and enjoy your walking
