Charity activity events: the list

"CHALLENGE EVENTS" IS THE NAME they give to activities that make you sweat with fear or exhaustion - ideally both - to raise cash for good causes.

The range of activities and locations is immense. This list shows every "Challenge Event" website we could find. Click the headings to sort by location or cause.

Click for easier sponsorship...

We can't find you sponsors but we can suggest the best way to pin down the ones you have in mind: the Justgiving or Bmycharity websites.

It takes minutes to set up your personal donations webpage there. You then tell all your mates about it - and it's a breeze for them to pledge money to you online (which they are committed to and can't wriggle out of).

It costs you nothing. All the Gift Aid gubbins is worked out for you and the money goes straight to the charity, with a bitsy cut going to Justgiving or Bmycharity.

The system works well - as long as the charity you're raising money for is on their system (most are).

PS We have no links with Justgiving or Bmycharity. We just like what they do.
