MILES FOR SMILES CHALLENGE

Does your school, sports team or community group want to do something fun and raise funds to support other local children and young people? Sign up to our Miles for Smiles Challenge and get active today! 

Befriend a Child are inviting local schools, community groups, sports teams, after school clubs, walking groups, holiday clubs and other clubs/groups to take part in their MILES FOR SMILES CHALLENGE to help turn frowns upside down. 

Miles for Smiles offers a fun way to keep active whilst raising awareness of the work of Befriend a Child in local communities across Aberdeen City and Shire. The challenge is simple, with only 4 key elements required to get you started: 

YOUR CHALLENGE

Move in any way you choose – cycle, jump, swim, run, skip, walk or wheel.  Just get started and keep on moving! 

YOUR DISTANCE

Set a realistic goal – based on your challenge and time available, set your distance or goal. Make it challenging and fun!  

YOUR TIME

Give yourself a timeframe for the challenge – a week, a month or a whole year. 

YOUR FUNDRAISING

We understand that not everyone will be able to donate, so please set an achievable amount you would like to raise to suit your setting. 50% of all funds raised will be split between your setting and Befriend a Child. 

Taking on the Miles for Smiles Challenge is easier than ever before and is designed to enable your pupils to take ownership of the challenge. If you are interested, please register by contacting fundraising@befriendachild.org.uk  and a member of our team will be in touch with all the relevant information to help get you started. 

We can’t wait to find out what fun challenges you choose and look forward to the updates!
