Aspire are looking for amazing people to take part in challenge events during 2019.

Getting sponsored to complete a challenge event is a fun and rewarding way to support Aspire. Not only will you help us to change the lives of Oxfordshire’s most disadvantaged people, you can improve your fitness, try new activities, gain a great sense of personal achievement and make a lasting difference in your local community! You can complete a challenge individually or organise a team of friends, family or colleagues to do something together. To help you make the most of your event we can offer:

• Lots of fundraising advice and support
• Team good luck messages and motivation
• Training tips
• An Aspire vest or t-shirt to wear on the day
