• United Borders DIY Challenge (3 per team, 4 points)

Our headline event - and a reminder all this is a bit for office glory, but mostly to support the work of wonderful charities like UNITED BORDERS!

United Borders are opening their first-ever Youth Space, and your team of 3 will head there for a bit to help with the refurbishment. Expect some mini-DIY missions and a whole heap of some fun!

United Borders is an award-winning charity which works within the community to support young people who are marginalised from mainstream opportunities. Our work focuses on empowering young people, helping them to understand the impact past and current experiences have had on their well-being and identifying how they can transform their opportunities.

Thank you, for supporting our cause! Head over to our JustGiving page for more details on our chosen charity =)
