CHALLENGE YOURSELF TO 25!
For BBC Children in Need’s 2025 Appeal, we’re asking your school to Challenge Yourself to 25! It’s about choosing a fun sponsorable challenge – and doing it 25 times.
Encourage your students to take on 25-themed challenges in groups, in forms, house groups or as a whole school to raise money for BBC Children in Need. Your students could walk, run, cycle or swim their way to 25km across appeal week, take part in our 25 question quiz, or come up with their own ’25’ themed challenge!
Check out creative ideas, resources and inspiration, plus a special student hub for students to find what they need to get started!
