Take on a challenge

Take on a physical challenge to help support marginalised children around the world.

Whether it’s running a marathon, cycling, walking up a mountain or jumping out of a plane, your fundraising efforts really will make a difference to transform lives.

TAKE ON A CHALLENGE FOR CHILDREN ON THE EDGE
​


​
Taking part in a challenge event gives you a fantastic opportunity to achieve your own personal goals and raise funds to transform the lives of the most marginalised children, living in some of the toughest situations around the world.

You can either apply for charity place with Children on the Edge at some of the UK’s major running events, or find your own challenge event to take on.

We love seeing the different challenges our supporters take on, from kayak races down the Thames, rowing the Atlantic, to  Skydiving.

Fundraise for us with a place at an event of your choice or decide your own challenge! Our supporters have sky dived, rowed, climbed and cycled the distance to raise funds for Children on the Edge. Whatever you do will help us to create safe spaces where some of the most marginalised children can safely live, play, learn, and grow.
