Foundation of Light is calling on thrill-seekers to put their New Year's Resolutions to the test by signing up to a series of exciting fundraising challenges. Kicking off in March, Foundation of Light's calendar of events offers something for those who want to beat their personal best, set a landmark and do something truly memorable while raising money for an amazing charity!  

Foundation Skydive, March 2018

Take part in an adrenaline-fueled tandem Sky Dive at Shotton Airfield where you'll jump from an airplane at 10,000 feet! Those taking part will receive comprehensive training beforehand and will be accompanied by an experienced instructor.  

Cheviots Challenge Walk, May 2018

The Foundation’s Cheviots Challenge is a long-distance walk in the Cheviot Hills of Northumberland. The 10-mile route will start at Trows Bridge, following the Street (an old drovers road) meeting up with the Pennine Way, following the Border Ridge, then over the Border to the top of Windy Gyle and downhill to the finish. Weather permitting, the views are panoramic!  

Croatian Coastal Cycle Challenge, June 2018

Every year, Foundation of Light takes a team of cyclists on an epic ride where friendships are forged, goals accomplished and great memories are made through the charity's international Cycle Challenges. Join us for four days of superb cycling through stunning scenery along the Balkan coast, down into lush valleys and high up into the mountains!  

Great North Run, September 2018

The Great North Run is the world’s largest half marathon, seeing almost 60,000 people embark on the famous 13-mile route from Newcastle to South Shields every year in what is a truly iconic event. Foundation of Light has limited places available which will GUARANTEE your place on the starting line.  

Sleep Out North East, November 2018

Could you face the cold of a November night at the home of Sunderland AFC, with nothing but a sleeping bag and a cardboard mat? In partnership with Centrepoint, Sleep Out is a fantastic fundraiser which really goes a long way to highlight some of the realities of homelessness whilst offering a fun and accessible way for you to get involved and help to end youth homelessness.   Why not organise your own event naming Foundation of Light as the benefitting charity? Our expert Events team can offer guidance and advice on how to effectively fundraise as well as helping increase participation through its business networks and promotional channels!
