Take a challenge

Taking part in a sponsored challenge is a great way of raising awareness and vital funds to help refugees.

A wide range of challenge events are now available in different locations across the UK and overseas. Whether you'd like to run a marathon or walk across stunning UK countryside, there's an event for you.

Or if you're looking for a more daring challenge, why not do a sponsored skydive or parachute jump? Tandem skydives, solo skydives and parachute jumps are available at any time in locations across the UK.

To find out how to set up a sponsored skydive near you, visit this page.

For our full list of challenges, check our challenge calender below for your preferred date, or alternatively, filter challenges by location or event type!

Once you've chosen your event and started your training, it's time to start fundraising! A quick and easy way to fundraise is to set up your own Virgin Money Giving or JustGiving page online. You can then send links to your pages to your friends and family so they can sponsor your event.

Don't forget to get in touch with us once you've organised your event, and we'll send your free fundraising pack including your Refugee Council t-shirt, a guide on how to start fundraising, offline donation forms and Refugee Council materials.
