I believe through our challenges we can get every child in the UK on the path to a healthy and happy life. I couldn’t have done this by myself so meet my team of super passionate, amazing humans that have given their time and knowledge to help create The Great British Children’s Challenge.
We are a small team of dedicated parents’s with one common goal, to see children across the country become fit, healthy, kind and ambitious. We love creating the challenges and trialing them with our own children. It’s hugely rewarding seeing so many of you take part and send us pictures from across the country. The icing on the cake is being able to give a portion of our sales to the charities we work with.
