5 Way Challenge

Join our Virtual Challenge

Take part in our first virtual fundraising event to help raise money for Lindengate.

Set yourself a challenge based on the 5 Ways to Wellbeing – you’ll be making a difference to your own wellbeing whilst supporting Lindengate.

It’s Mental Health Awareness Week 10^th – 16^th May and this year’s theme is nature, so if you can pick a challenge that gets you outdoors – even better!

WHEN: challenges can start anytime from 1^st May and must be completed by July 31^st 2021.

WHAT: you can do any activity in a location of your choice, in line with Government guidelines and social distancing rules.

2.     Set up your VirginGiving page and share with your friends, family and colleagues to collect your sponsorship money. VirginMoneyGivingLindengate
