Challenges

2020 Challenges

Well, 2020 has certainly been a challenge for all of us. We are grateful to still have been able to raise funds from various sources, the details will be published soon.

2019 Challenges

2019 was a busy year for us so we did not manage any challenges. However, we were selected as the representative charity for the 41st Annual Fairey Band concert in Beaminster, Dorset. Thanks to the band for a great show and raising over £2000!

2018 Challenges

Our main fundraiser in 2018 was a raffle, which ran from May to October. We raised a whopping £3000! Find out more here.

We were very grateful to benefit from the collection at the end of the Guilty Feminist podcast (episode 95) and events at Thomas Buxton Primary School, London and The King’s School, Chester.

We were also able to secure a charity place in the London marathon for 2018. Amanda Sears took up this place and raised over £3,000 – an amazing achievement!

2017 Challenges

In 2017, our fundraising was themed around our Round the World Challenge – helping us to collect kilometres to travel the distance around the equator (24,902 miles or 40,076 km) through self-powered travel.

Our supporters around the country counted their activities and took on personal challenges to help us smash our target – we completed 2 full circuits of the equator! Read more about the challenge here.

Thanks to the amazing support for this challenge, 2017 was our most successful fundraising year to date. We raised over £27,500 (including Gift Aid). See how these funds were distributed.

2016 Challenges

In 2016 we raised £12,845 through a combination of physical challenges and events. See how these funds were distributed.

Physical Challenges

The London Triathlon – 6th-7th August 2016

The UK’s biggest triathlon. There is an event for everyone, from sprint to Olympic plus and even team events.

The UnderroundTM – 23rd October 2016

The UnderroundTM is a challenge visiting 42 London Underground stations on foot totalling 42kms. There are about 30km between stations and with the added twist of visiting all 42 platforms as well using the stairs (or escalators!), this is certainly an event with a difference! The average time is just over 6 hours so this is not a challenge to be taken lightly.

Challenges undertaken by trustees in 2015 were limited to only a handful due to a very busy year for the trustees personally. However we were very lucky to have some willing supporters who undertook their own challenges. With their help we were able to raise another £10,000 in our second year. See how these funds were used.

2014 Challenges

In 2014 we undertook 10 challenges in 10 months kick-start our fundraising efforts. With the help of our fantastic supporters we were able to raise over £10,000 in our first year!
