We need you! Take on the charity Children Today's Workout from Home challenge to get fit and stay positive all whilst helping raise funds for a children's charity! By taking on one of our Changing Lives Challenges you can help us continue to change young lives in need after the Coronavirus has negatively impacted our fundraising income.
As we are all undergoing social distancing or self-isolation we are realising how hard it is to stay indoors constantly. However, many families with a child or young person with a disability already face isolation, not because of Coronavirus but because they cant access the right equipment to help them. The equipment we fund helps these children feel less isolated, have more independence and enjoy the best possible quality of life, yet can be costly.
As our charity doesnt receive any Government funding were entirely reliant on voluntary donations and fundraising events to support families in need. Sadly, due to the Coronavirus weve had to postpone a number of fundraising events so our Changing Lives Challenges are a way people can take part in a simple fundraising challenge from the comfort of their own home.
The equipment we fund, like adapted trikes or a specialised car seat, allows a child to enjoy activities or a lifestyle they may never get to otherwise. An experience like being able to enjoy a bike ride with your family for the first time can be life-changing yet is something many of us possibly take for granted.
All you need to do to take part is to do the workout routine for ten days over two weeks and get sponsored to do it by friends or family, or simply make a donation to Children Today, to ensure the children we support do not have to wait even longer for the equipment they so desperately need.
We know more families are going to need our support in the coming months as households across the country feel the financial impact of the pandemic. By taking part in this fundraising challenge, together we can make a difference and continue to change the lives of children and young people in need by providing these much-needed grants for specialised equipment.
