Join our challenge this August to help children grow up in safe, loving families
We believe it takes a village to raise a child. This August, we’re inviting you to walk 150 miles and raise £150 to help Child’s i Foundation keep children where they belong: in families, not orphanages.
However you move, it counts. Walk, run, cycle, dance or swim your way through the challenge – solo or with your own village of friends, family, or colleagues.
The goal is to move together and raise money to help keep children where they belong: in families, not orphanages.
Signing up is simple
Choose your challenge
Pick your activity and set your goal: 150 miles to walk or run throughout August, at your own pace.
Get your village involved
Invite friends, family, neighbours, or colleagues to sponsor you. Going solo? No problem – we’ll be cheering you on every step of the way.
Fundraise and share
Set up your fundraising page, share your progress, and post photos using #ItTakesAVillage.
Track your progress on Strava
We’re running this challenge on the Enthuse fundraising platform, which makes it super easy to track your progress, share your updates, and collect donations all in one place.
When you sign up, you’ll create your own challenge page on Enthuse.
You can log your miles or minutes manually, or connect a fitness app like Strava to track automatically.
Your page will show your progress as you go, so your supporters can cheer you on and see how far you’ve come!
Add photos, updates, and milestones to keep your village engaged.
We’ll be checking in along the way, and you’ll be able to see how other teams are doing too. Whether you’re going solo or with a group, Enthuse keeps it simple and fun.
By taking part, you are helping keep children in safe, loving families. You are also supporting work that prevents separation and protects children’s rights in their communities.
At Child’s i Foundation, we are creating better alternatives to orphanages. We work with local communities to support families so they can raise their children. We also help find foster or adoptive families for children who need them.
We put children first. We believe their rights should be protected and their voices heard. We work with communities and governments to build strong support systems that help families stay together.
Need some ideas to get you started?
Walk to work
Swap the commute for a walk and clock up miles on your way in. Even a 20-minute walk each way adds up faster than you’d think.
Lunchtime loop
A 30-minute walk at lunch five days a week gets you through roughly 10 miles before the weekend. Easy miles, fresh air, and a proper break from your desk.
Weekend long walk
Pick a new route, grab a friend, and make a morning of it. Parkland, canal paths, coastal walks – there’s no shortage of options, and longer weekend walks are a great way to boost your total.
Evening stroll
A 20-minute walk after dinner is one of the easiest habits to build. It counts, it’s good for you, and your supporters will love seeing the updates.
Want to get your team moving for a good cause?
