Over the summer we have had some epic fundraisers challenging themselves and raising lots of money for our charity. We want to celebrate them and share their stories to inspire you to set a 2026 challenge!

Louise, Founder of our charity, said “Every one of our fundraisers are so special to us. As a small charity every pound makes a big difference. We are always blown away by the challenges people take on to raise money to help continue our important work.”

Thank you
