Set yourself a daily challenge for the month, whether its to meet your 10k steps goal, run 5k every day, swim 10x lengths every day or 100 squats per day. Get friends and family to support and sponsor you along the way, test your endurance and see your stamina develop in 2026.

Host a coffee morning and cake sale anywhere—at school, work, or home! Gather friends, colleagues, or family for a cuppa and a chat while supporting a great cause. Encourage cake donations or turn it into a bake-off competition with a vote for the favourite treat!

Take part in one of our events in 2026, including our flagship event Hike for Homeless, with options from beginner to expert. Other events include runs from 5ks to Marathons, cycling challenges, skydiving and community events. Just go to our events page to see what we have on our calendar this year!

Start the New Year afresh and kick some of those unhealthy habits- Set yourself the challenge to give it up for January- whether its chocolate, alcohol, meat, shopping, your X Box, or Tik Tok. You could donate the money you would have spent on these things or you could get some sponsorship to achieve your goal!

The New Year is the perfect time of year to have a clear out and refresh… out with the old and in with the new! Consider selling your unwanted clothes and items online to raise funds for St Basils. If your group has access to a venue, why not host a bring-and-buy or tabletop sale? Donate unwanted items or gifts, sell refreshments, and even run a raffle to boost your fundraising.

Test your knowledge and organise a quiz night! Charge teams or individuals an entry fee and offer a prize for the winners. Sell drinks and snacks as an additional way to raise funds!

Donate your unwanted and unused gifts that are suitable for a 16-25 year old. New bedding, duvets, pillows, cover sets, cutlery and plates / bowls, toiletries or new towels are appreciated when we first welcome a young person to our projects, who often arrive without anything other than the clothes on their back.

I dare you… To shave your head, wax your chest, take an ice bath…Get your family and friends to think up a crazy challenge in exchange for a donation! Why not complete your challenge live on social media for more exposure? Let your creativity flow.
