CHALLENGES

WHICH CHALLENGE WILL YOU TAKE ON IN 2024?

This year why not take on a challenge for a Charity that raises funds for something you're passionate about. Whether you'd like to support young people or the elderly. You may wish to support a local charity or help fundraise for research into  a health condition. Maybe you'd like to do some good but don't know where to start or how. We in charities can help. See below for just some of the charities who would love you to help support them. Each charity offers advice and tips to enable you to raise as much money as possible. If it seems daunting to raise money alone why not get a friend to join you or create a team.You could then share a donation page and fundraise together. We in charities may even be able to support you with fundraising. 

Simply email charities_department@next.co.uk letting us know what you are doing and we may be able to help. See below for just some of the ways you can do some good in 2024.
