2020 was a year of terrible news. It was also a year of confusion and polarisation. From the pandemic to the Black Lives Matter movement, Brexit and the US election, there was fierce disagreement about what is true or what should be done.
This January, start the new year by doing something positive about the news! From January 5th until the end of February, take on our virtual challenge. We can't run from the news, but we can cycle, run, walk, hop or skip to empower young people with the skills to engage with it positively!
All donations made by your friends and family who sponsor you will go towards the charity's fundraising target, helping more young people globally to develop news-literacy skills that can make a real difference to their lives.
Charities pay a small fee for our service. Learn more about fees
