Story

Not every young person has the opportunity or inspiration to unlock their potential and find their Starting Block in life.

The Starting Blocks Challenge aims to change whats possible for those young people who are facing challenges in their everyday lives.

A Starting Block is the person, place or moment that inspired you to become who you are today. Get sponsored to run, walk, swim or ride the distance back to where your story started or invent a challenge of your own.

Help us in our mission to support 1,000 young people each year facing disadvantage due to inequality in their everyday lives to become the best version of themselves.

We want you to tell us about your inspiration and then share with the world your challenge and Just Giving page to help raise money to support more young people in their future.

Your Inspiration . Your Challenge. Their Future.
