2025 was the first year of Challenge for Change and what a fantastic success it was.

Collectively we covered over 46,000 km and have raised over £45,000 (including Gift Aid and 4 charities outside of Just Giving) supporting 31 local children’s charities chosen by you the participants.

For 2026 we are aiming bigger – the Challenge is to achieve Part 1 of the 7 Continents challenge with a twin target of 133,000 km (which is 50% of the 266,000 km to complete all 7 continents) and to raise £100,000 for local children’s charities.

Aimed at companies who want to engage and mobilise their employees, sports clubs who embrace a virtual challenge, schools and children’s clubs who want to involve the children in a fun challenge, and individuals who want to be part of something bigger.

Challenge for Change works on so many levels – seeing teams and individuals compete with each other while being part of a collective team created real excitement during the month of September 2025 - so lets go bigger and bolder in 2026.

inspiring change,

one kilometre at a time.

A global movement for local impact.

Challenge for Change is a worldwide movement fueled by a shared commitment to children’s futures.

In 2025 we achieved over 46,000 kilometers, the distance around the globe, to raise funds for local charities that provide life-changing support to children in need. In 2026 the target is to collectively achieve 133,000 kilometres by covering Part 1 of the perimeters of the 7 continents of the world.

This is more than a physical challenge. It’s a powerful network of friends, colleagues, and communities uniting to create change that transcends borders. Millions of children face barriers to education, healthcare, and safety every day. But global challenges require collective solutions.

Every step, every kilometre, every effort contributes to a brighter future, transforming the lives of children through emotional, educational, and financial support.

Be part of something extraordinary.
