Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or a first-timer, there are exciting opportunities for everyone to get involved and make a difference. From marathons and bike rides to skydives and obstacle courses, fundraising challenge events are designed to test your endurance and inspire your spirit. Every step you take, pedal you push, or jump you make directly contributes to building stronger families and brighter futures.
Family Action transforms lives by providing practical, emotional and financial support to those who are experiencing poverty, disadvantage and social isolation across the country. From the mum in Kent suffering from postnatal depression, the dad in Birmingham struggling to find the right support for his autistic son, to the teenage boy in Durham who regularly misses school to care for his disabled mum – you could give families a listening ear, and the helping hand they need to thrive.
We’d love your support to help more families in need. Take on fundraising challenge event you’ll remember forever.
