Take on a challenge for Children on the Edge
Take on a physical challenge to help support forgotten children around the world. Whether it’s running a marathon, walking up a mountain, jumping out of a plane, or cycling 100 miles, your efforts to fundraise really will make a difference.
Taking part in a challenge event gives you a fantastic opportunity to achieve your own personal goals and raise funds for some of the most vulnerable children around the world. You can either apply for team place with Children on the Edge at some of the UK’s major running and cycling 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. Anything is possible, and whatever you do will help to restore the ingredients of a full childhood to forgotten children around the world.

Children on the Edge
Children on the Edge exists to help marginalised and forgotten children, who are living on the edge of their societies. These are children without parental care, neglected or persecuted by their governments, ignored by international media and missed by large overseas agencies.
Working in partnership with local communities, we help to create safe, child friendly environments. We support children to realise their rights and we restore the ingredients of a full childhood by generating hope, life, colour and fun.
