Looking for something to do with the kids over the holidays?

Look no further!

You are invited to join in with Age UK Solihull's 40th anniversary celebrations by taking part in Challenge 40.

You can decide what challenge to do - it could be something physical, creative, mentally challenging or something plain silly!

The only rule is that it must be based around the number 40. The possibilities are endless!

Sign up to take part and we will send you a FREE Fundraising Pack to help you raise funds to help us to continue to be here for older and vulnerable Solihull residents, as we have been for the last 40 years.

Here are some ideas to get you started...

Do something in 40 days...

  • Master a new skill
  • Walk, run or cycle a set distance
  • Set yourself a reading challenge - a page, a chapter or a book each day!
  • Do a good turn every day

What could you do in 40 minutes?

  • A sponsored silence - remember that many older people don't speak to anyone for days on end
  • See how far you can skate, swim or skip
  • Put on a 40-minute show and sell tickets to friends and family
  • Spend 40 minutes making something crafty to sell

More 40-based ideas

  • Get sponsored to fit 40 items in a matchbox!
  • Bake and sell 40 cupcakes
  • Do 40 star jumps a day
  • Collect 40 of an item - something like shells, coins or rocks
  • Walk 40km over the holidays
  • Or come up with your own challenge!
