The 7.4 Miles Challenge
Move 7.4 miles a day. Honour 7.4 million women.
Cycle, run or walk 7.4 miles per day to honour the 7.4 million women in the UK who have experienced domestic abuse since the age of 16.
Every mile is a reminder that abuse is far more common than many realise, and that support must be too.
The 27,500 Steps Team Challenge
Steps for children. Strength in numbers.
Could your family, workplace or team combine to walk 27,500 steps per day for 30 days?
This challenge represents the 827,000 children estimated to experience domestic abuse each year. Together, your steps help ensure children affected by abuse can access safety, stability and specialist support.
Perfect for teams who want to do something meaningful together.
The 104 Challenge
104 miles. 104 women. One powerful statement.
Take on our 104-mile cycling challenge in memory of the 104 women killed each year in domestic abuse-related incidents.
