Get Active

What would you like to do more of this year?

Is it to play a new instrument, pick up a new hobby, or could it be to #GetActive? Hopping on your bike, pulling on your trainers or sticking with a gym membership can be hard work - especially during the cold and dark winter months!

There are plenty of events taking place all year round you can take part in for us. Once you've chosen your challenge make sure to let people know - then the pennies will be sure to start rolling in! Download our sponsorship form to kick-start your fundraising!

Keep us updated by joining our #GetActive Facebook group.
