Choosing Your Challenge
In addition to our renowned UK and worldwide bucket list challenges, there’s a huge variety of other ways you can get involved, start fundraising for us and have some fun – whatever your age or ability. Whether it is from the comfort of your own home, here in the UK or across the other side of the world, on your own, virtually, or with friends and family, you can choose whatever type of fundraising challenge suits you best. What’s not to love!
We are blown away by some of the incredibly creative ideas you have come up with to raise money for us and moved by many of the reasons for why you have chosen Norwood. We love to hear about them. We can’t possibly list them all, but whether you are a whizz in the kitchen, great at hosting hangouts, a first time gamer, an adrenaline junkie, Latin linguist or sporting superhero, here’s a few ideas which may help to inspire you.
