Fundraising across the Island
Take the challenge!
Challenge & Adventure, the
charity that has been helping
disadvantaged and challenging
12-19 year-olds on the Isle of
Wight for over 25 years, has
recently launched a big new
fundraising initiative.
Called Challenge 25, it is
throwing down the gauntlet to 25
supporters and asking them to
raise £100 each over the course of
this year.
Organisers say there are lots
of ways supporters can raise the
money - from holding a tea party
to running a quiz night, bingo,
raffle or ladies lunch. And they are
offering plenty of help and support
in terms of designing and printing
posters, promotion on the charity’s
website and Facebook pages,
sponsor forms and providing
volunteer help on the day.
Each Fundraiser will receive a
Challenge & Adventure Certificate,
a presentation photo for its
website and Facebook page and
distribution to the media if
requested.
If you are interested in taking
on the challenge – which will
ultimately help to raise the
confidence, self-esteem and
aspirations of disadvantaged
young people – just apply for
a registration pack by calling
01983 527026, or email Karen@
