Take On A Challenge

Take on a challenge for Tools for Self Reliance

Are you a keen runner, cyclist or swimmer? Can you climb any mountain, ford any stream? Maybe your’re planning a sky dive, or can’t think of anything more impossible than a sponsored silence?

Whatever challenge you’re taking on, you can help raise vital funds, giving young people access to vocational training and business development projects across Africa, and supporting our tool refurbishment programme in the UK. 

Please email fundraising@tfsr.org or give us a call on 02380 869697 to tell us about your event. We’ll send you a sponsorship pack and help you promote your challenge too.

Secure your space on the starting line.  Search for organised events in your area, from local park runs to sea swims. Register to secure your spot, start your training, and begin collecting sponsorship from your friends, family, colleagues and neighbours.

Get your great idea in gear.  Pop a callout on your group chat, don your Lycra and hold a ‘cycle to school’ day, or ‘cycle to work’ week.  Take the lead in a line-dance, or start the longest conga in five counties.  Your get together will keep you fit, having fun and raising money at the same time!

Make a spectacle of your skills.  Put together a 1000 piece puzzle in under an hour or recreate a Rembrandt… with a blindfold on.   Invite people to join in, or cheer you on from the sidelines if you prefer to go solo?

Bite your tongue.  Do you have a reputation as a chatter-box, or seem to be one of the louder people in the room? Why not set yourself a challenge and have a sponsored silence for the day.  Of course, you can communicate by other means, but your mouth will have to stay stumm.  How long with you last?  How much will people pay to find out?

If you’d like a sponsorship form or more information, please contact fundraising@tfsr.org or telephone 02380 869697
