What is Challenge 45?

CLICK TO ENLARGE Challenge 45 Ideas

This year for our 45th Birthday we would like to challenge you to each raise £45. 

Isolation and loneliness can have a significant effect on a person's mental health, and it can be especially challenging for those who live alone. The Befriending Team in Milton Keynes is an organization that works to tackle these issues by providing companionship and support to those who need it most.

To help raise £45 to support the Befriending Team's efforts, there are several things that you can do. One option is to organize a fundraising event, such as a sponsored walk or run, a bake sale, or a charity auction. You could also set up a crowdfunding campaign online or ask for donations from friends and family.

Another way to support the Befriending Team is to volunteer your time and become a befriender yourself. This can involve spending time with someone who is feeling lonely or isolated, whether that's through regular phone calls, video chats, or in-person visits (when it is safe to do so).

By working together and supporting the Befriending Team, we can make a positive difference in the lives of those who are struggling with isolation and loneliness in Milton Keynes. Let's show our support and help make a difference!
