Start your New Year with purpose! This January, we’re inviting individuals, workplaces, schools, clubs and community groups across Leeds to take on our 5K-a-Day Challenge – 31 days of movement, motivation and making a real difference for local children.
Whether you walk, run, cycle, swim, row or mix it up throughout the month, your daily 5K will help give children the chance to experience joy, adventure and life-changing memories at our charity’s home, Lineham Farm.
How the challenge works
It’s simple, flexible and open to everyone!
Move 5K a day
Complete 5 kilometres a day throughout January in any way you choose:
Walking
Running
Cycling
Swimming
Rowing
Gym classes
Or a combination – it’s entirely up to you!
Sign up using our online form
Just complete the sign-up form below. That’s it – you’re officially part of the challenge!
Set up your fundraising page
Create your fundraising page on your preferred platform (e.g. JustGiving). Then share it with friends, family and colleagues to let them know what you’re taking on and why – and to ask for their donations.
We suggest aiming to raise around £150, but every participant can set their own fundraising target. Whether you reach this amount or not, every contribution helps make a huge difference.
Track your progress
Keep a note of your daily 5K – use your fitness watch, phone app or simply log it manually. Celebrate your milestones along the way!
Share and celebrate
Post your updates on social media and tag us to help spread the word. Inspire others and cheer on your fellow challengers throughout the month.
Why take part?
Leeds Children’s Charity at Lineham Farm is dedicated to brightening the lives of children who are facing poverty, disadvantage or trauma. Many have never experienced a night away from home, time in nature, or a chance to simply play and be a child.
Funds raised through the 5K-a-Day Challenge will help us welcome even more children for a transformative stay at Lineham Farm – where they can explore the outdoors, build confidence, try new activities and make happy memories that last a lifetime.
Your New Year challenge could be the start of a brighter year for a child who truly needs it.
