Challenge events

Our Challenge Events are a fantastic way to challenge your mind, body and fundraising skills. These events are life-changing not only due to their thrilling and exhilarating nature, but also because they help us to fund our crucial work. Supporting those with a sensory impairment to accomplish their goals comes at a cost.

We need you to take a leap of faith and join us on an exciting adventure whether that be running, cycling, swimming or climbing.

There are hundreds of challenge events we have access to including cycles, wing walks and sky dives, so if you don’t an event below that takes your fancy please contact us on fundraising@sightforsurrey.org.uk
