The Campaign

The 2.6 Challenge will launch on Sunday 26 April 2020 and were inviting you, your family and friends to take part to help to save the UKs charities.

When?

From Sunday 26 April, were asking you to dream up an activity based around the numbers 2.6 or 26 and fundraise by creating a 2.6 Challenge.

What can you do?

This is a challenge for all ages and abilities. All you need to do is think of an activity based around the numbers 26 or 2.6 that suits your skills and complete it on or from Sunday 26 April.

You can run or walk 2.6 miles, 2.6km or for 26 minutes. You could do the same in your home or garden, go up and down the stairs 26 times, do 26 catches with a VI cricket or tennis ball, learn the 26 braille letters of the alphabet, do a 26 minute exercise class or get 26 people on a video call and do a 26 minute workout anything you like. We want people to get active, have fun and raise money to help Save the UKs Charities by giving money or raising funds.

And dont worry if youre not able to get out your house or flat for now you can do your 2.6 challenge anywhere inside too! There are no rules, apart from the Government guidelines on how to exercise safely during this time.
