Virtual Challenges

Raise money for St Nic’s by making your own personal challenge and inspiring others to sponsor you.

As part of the Hospice’s 35th anniversary celebrations, it has launched its first virtual fundraising challenge.

What is a virtual challenge?

• A virtual challenge enables you to personalise your own challenge
• You choose when, where and how to complete between 1 May 2019 and 2020
• Choose your own target or create a challenge to fit the 35-year celebrations such as a 35km run, 35 laps of Angel Hill, swim 35 lengths

How do you sign up?

We ask you to register your challenge with the Hospice online, so we can offer support and award you a medal.

To register please complete the online form and pay a £10 donation online.

Share your challenge with friends, family and colleagues to inspire sponsorship. All funds raised will support people living with dying, death and grief.
