Challenge 65
Can you challenge yourself to raise funds for our 65th birthday? The idea is simple - pick any kind of challenge that involves the number 65.
Whether it's cycling 65 kilometers, walking 65 miles, baking 65 cupcakes (and selling them!), giving something up for 65 days or simply aiming to raise £65, the choice is yours!
If you want any further information or you'd like to join us for Challenge 65 please email the Fundraising team - fundraising@ageukwsbh.org.uk
And if you don't fancy taking on a challenge yourself, why not sponsor someone instead? Take a look at how these fantastic supporters are getting involved to raise vital funds for our work...
Daphne Belt
I am 82 years old and this October I will be taking part in the Ironman 70.3 World Championships in Utah, USA. This event consists of a 1.2 mile open water swim, 56 mile bike ride on a challenging course and a 13.1mile (half marathon) run.
Not only do I love taking part in these challenges, but I hope that my involvement shows people just what can be achieved – I never thought I would be a World Champion before I started this journey!
I’ve decided that as well as participating in the Ironman in October, I will also be fundraising for Age UK West Sussex Brighton & Hove in this special year as they turn 65. Their work impacts vulnerable people in our local communities who need support and their services are more vital now than ever for improving older people's wellbeing and reducing isolation and loneliness through befriending and connecting.
Skydive65
I am taking on the challenge to skydive from 15,000ft and aiming to raise £650 in celebration of the charity's 65th Anniversary!
Working for the charity as Catering Manager, I see every day how our services benefit local people – during lockdown, me and my team were cooking, freezing and delivering meals to some of the most vulnerable older people across the County and we saw first-hand the impact our work has.
I want to raise awareness of what we do and how we help people, by taking on this skydive and fundraising to support the incredible services we provide for vulnerable people in our community.
