Each year we find a family for over 30 children in Wales and at any one time are directly supporting over 45 families. We also support over 200 families through support groups, training and family fun days.
This August you can take on the 80/8 Challenge and raise money for St David's while helping to celebrate St David's 80th Anniversary and 80 years of St David's families.
1. Choose your 80 challenge! It can be anything based on the number 80. You could decide to do 80 of something over 8 days, 80 of something and finish in 1 day, or even 80 of something each day for 8 days. It's your choice to set yourself your challenge and decide how long it will take you.
2. You can set up a fundraising page by clicking on the 'Start Fundraising' button on this page.
3. Share your fundraising challenge with friends, family, colleagues etc and encourage them to donate.
4. If you'd like to, you can share with us online using #StDavidsIs80 and tag us @adoptionwales
Whether its a solo challenge or something as a family or with friends there are many ways you can get involved in the St David's 80/8 challenge. It can be anything you like so long as it is based on the number 80! And you have 8 days to complete it, but you may finish it in less.
So, what could you do? Maybe challenge yourself to 80 squats, run upstairs 80 times, hold an 80-minute danceathon, bake 80 biscuits, do 80 keepie-uppies, jump on the trampoline 80 times. It's up to you!
Whatever you do, and however you do it, make sure you have fun and stay safe.
Your fundraising and donations really do make a difference, as we rely on the generosity of donations and grant funding to provide our adoption support. All donations we receive play a significant part in making a very positive difference to our families. The money raised from this campaign will go towards funding our support groups and family fun days.
If we hadn't had the support group, our social worker and everyone at St David's I think we may have given up...but St David's were always there when we needed them, at every stage. They still are. And now look at my family. I wish we could bottle it and show you. We're all so happy." St David's Adopter
Even if you don't take on a challenge you can support St David's 80th Anniversary year by clicking on the 'Give now' button at the top of the page. Any donation, no matter how large or small, really does support us in supporting St David's families.
