Raise money and help save lives from the comfort of your own home
If you’re looking for a way to rally friends and work colleagues together and bring a little light-relief into your day while stuck at home, then look no further.
Whether you’re getting creative in the kitchen, hosting virtual hang-outs with friends and family online or getting fit with workouts at home, we’ve got lots of ideas for how you can raise funds to help save babies’ lives. Virtual events are a great way to challenge yourself and raise money, all from the comfort of your own home.
Make sure you stay safe throughout the challenges and you are adhering to the government’s social distancing guidelines at all times. Where possible, stay at home, protect the NHS and save lives.
