Some Challenge Events which might take your fancy!

Some of our supporters have asked how they can get involved in fundraising for us whilst being sporty or doing something a bit different!

Please find below a list of local-ish (within 40 miles) events which you can get involved in – we encourage you to raise money for us and to make this easy you can set up your own fundraising page on our website.

Biba, our Fundraising Officer, can help you through the process of booking your event and setting up your fundraising page.  For further information, email biba@maryfrancestrust.org.uk or call Biba on 07877 846392
