Events & Challenges

Ready-made challenges and events to inspire you to fundraise and help educate and protect some of the world's most marginalised children

Take a look through our ready-to-go events and challenges across the UK, together with some of Children on the Edge’s own organised events for you to take part in. You can take on a personal challenge, or join in with an event with friends or family.

Every £125 you raise can help create a safe space for a child to learn & thrive for a year.

GREAT SOUTH RUN

Grab your own place in the picturesque fast and flat race at Portsmouth on Sunday 19th October. A unique 10 mile distance is a perfect step on from a 5k training plan, or a good preparation if you're planning a longer race next year.
