Challenge Yourself

And raise vital funds for Accessible Arts & Media

Do something incredible in 2024. Take on the challenge of a lifetime and raise money to help us create an inclusive society, where everyone gets the chance to shine.

What is a Challenge Event? 

A challenge event can be anything you challenge yourself to do. They can be sports events where you might have to run for a long period of time, like a marathon. Or they might be a group event, where a team works together to reach a target, like the finish line of a Dragon Boat Race. 

We love writing about our fundraising heroes here at AAM – maybe you can be next? 

Here’s some inspiration to get you started. 

Nick’s Summer of Swimming  

Nick challenged himself to a summer of outdoor swimming and raised an incredible total, smashing his target twice! Read more here

Mary Seas’ed the Day  

Mary took like a fish to water when it came to fundraising. She was part of our fabulously fishy Seas the Day team who took part in the York Rotary Dragon Boat Challenge in 2022. Read more here.
