"When lock down started back in March, all our face-to-face community fundraising events for the spring and summer that we had planned were cancelled overnight. Knowing the knock-on effect that this would have on our income for the year, we quickly had to adapt and immerse ourselves into a brave new world of virtual fundraising.
So far, this has included quizzes, music videos and picnics- to name but a few! However, one way that has really sparked imagination with our supporters is the 30 Day Home Challenge. The concept is simple; think of a challenge that you can do for 30 consecutive days and get your household, family and friends to sponsor you for a fixed amount each day, such as £5 or £10.
The past few months have seen our community fundraisers take on a variety of 30 day home challenges including: walking the distance from London to Paris, baking every day, watercolour painting, walking 3 miles a day for 30 days, cycling to the international space station and learning to play the guitar.
To date we have collectively raised an AMAZING £2165.75 by doing the 30 Day Home Challenge!"
So, are you ready for a challenge?
Our next fundraising goal for the 30 Day Home Challenge is £5000! Why not sign up today and help us reach this?
Here are a few ideas to get you started:
- Learning – learn a language, read a book or do a puzzle every day for 30 days
- Creative – draw, bake or write a short story every day for 30 days
- Health and wellness – No caffeine or alcohol, eat healthy or do a daily walk, run or cycle every day for 30 days
