Its a special year for us at Student Hubs, as we look to celebrate our 15th birthday. Across our network we have been creating impact since 2007, and we felt it was important to mark this birthday.

To recognise the 15 years we have been delivering impact in the higher education sector and in our communities, we wanted to engage our supporters in a physical challenge. How you do your 15, and what it looks like, is entirely up to you. Remember our values are bold, ambitious, motivational, social and long-term: what could a challenge look like for you that shared those values?

You can be flexible with your 15 too - if you fancy an even bigger challenge, you could commit to cycling 150 kilometres, running 15 miles, or doing 15 unique challenges or events throughout the fundraising period.

The Challenge will be launching from March and taking place until the end of June. We encourage people to commit to the Challenge from February, but you are welcome to start your challenge from March onwards: you could even do your whole challenge on one day!

We ask all of our fundraisers to set a minimum target of £250, though we encourage you to be ambitious and try raise over this amount! Your fundraising will support the sustainability of our work, and the operations and logistics which enable our programmes to thrive as high quality opportunities.

Those who have worked with us closely in the past understand the challenges which all charities face in fundraising and the importance of striving for excellence in all we do. We know these champions will do their best to raise funds and awareness for the vital work we do, whilst having fun celebrating our 15th birthday!

To fundraise with us, simply join as a fundraiser by logging into JustGiving and clicking the 'Fundraising' button the right-hand side, and following the instructions. If you're doing a physical challenge, you can even connect your Strava account to update on your progress.

If your business or organisation would like to get involved, we welcome you to join us! You can email fiona.walsh@studenthubs.org for any support you need to get started.

We thank you in advance for your support with this campaign, for potentially joining us as a fundraiser or sharing, donating and cheering our fundraisers on. Let Fiona know if you have any questions by emailing her at the address above, and look out for other opportunities coming up from us to celebrate our 15th birthday.
