Challenge yourself

Join Team Fawcett

Be part of a nationwide movement of people who champion women’s rights and gender equality. Choosing to take on the challenge of a lifetime for charity is a big decision, but Team Fawcett will be with you every step of the way, keeping you motivated and helping you to reach your fundraising goal.

We have a fantastic team to help you from day one of training all the way to that finish line. You will receive amazing support, and (most importantly) you'll have a great time. Better still, you'll also be funding Fawcett’s vital gender equality work.

Have a look at the current events we have on offer and apply for a place today. Alternatively, if you’ve secured a place in your own event, we’d love to hear from you. You can still raise money for Fawcett and we’ll make sure to send you our exclusive training vest and fundraising pack. Email Ben in the Community Team to find out more.
