Create your own challenge

If you want to support Chance to Shine but don’t see a challenge that suits, why not create your own? Creating your own challenge event is the perfect way to combine your passion with fundraising to give more children across the UK the opportunity to play, learn, and grow through cricket.

 

Why Create Your Own Challenge?

Taking on a personal challenge allows you to:

  • Set your own goals: Whether it’s a marathon, a bake-a-thon, a trek, or even a Guinness World Record attempt, you decide what suits you.
  • Get creative: Design a challenge that reflects your interests, skills, or ambitions.
  • Make an impact: Every penny you raise will help deliver cricket programs that teach important life skills to children in schools and communities.

 

How to Get Started

  1. Choose your challenge: Think about something you enjoy or have always wanted to try. It could be anything from cycling across the country to hosting a 24-hour cricket match with your local club.
  2. Set a fundraising target: Aim high but realistically – every bit counts!
  3. Create a plan: Work out the logistics of your challenge and ensure it’s achievable.
  4. Spread the word: Share your story on social media, with friends, and in your community to build support.
