We are turning 40!

Age UK Cheshire is turning 40, and we are inviting you to help us celebrate and raise funds by taking part in a sponsored challenge based around the number 40.

Whether it's running 40 miles, singing 40 songs or baking 40 cakes, you can choose any challenge you like. Ask your friends to sponsor you and raise funds to help our work with older people to support them in living their best life.

We have made it as simple as possible to fundraise for us by setting up a JustGiving account: www.justgiving.com/ageconcerncheshire

There are hundreds of ways that you can fundraise for us. Every idea is a great idea and we will support you in any way we can. Call us on 01606 305 000 or via email: liam.birchall@ageukcheshire.org.uk and let us know your ideas!

SOME 40-BASED IDEAS TO GET YOU STARTED:

• Do 400,000 steps in 40 days
• Do 40 squats a day for a month
• Bake 40 cakes
• Sing 40 songs
• Donate £40
• Swim 40 lengths
• Sell 40 items of clothing and donate the proceeds
• Knit 40 hats
• Read 40 books
• Write 40 poems
• Walk, run, cycle or row 40km – just under a marathon! This could be done in one day or or over a few days or weeks
• Cook for 40 people
• Run an event or activity (quiz night, bake sale, coffee morning, raffle, bingo night) and raise at least £40. Nominate one person who attends to do the same and raise another £40 with their own event, then they nominate one person from their event, and so on.
