Challenge Events

Challenge Events

Whether you’re looking to boost your wellbeing, find a new hobby, improve your fitness level or simply feel the satisfaction of having achieved a goal, taking part in a challenge event could be just what you’re looking for. 

By signing up to join #TeamStudentMinds, you’ll be helping us to empower students to look after their own mental health, support those around them and create change. Without our inspirational fundraisers, what we do simply wouldn’t be possible - so we’re truly grateful for the kindness of every single person who supports our cause. 
​

If you have any questions for us, please email fundraising@studentminds.org.uk.

​The BRIT 2021 Challenge

The BRIT 2021 Challenge is a 2,021 mile challenge, open to students and staff at every UK university, college and student union. Teams are invited to cover the 2,021 mile distance by either hand-cycling, cycling, wheelchair pushing, swimming, walking, jogging, running, rowing or paddling - either on campus or at home. All funds raised will be shared equally between Student Minds, Nightline, PAPYRUS, The Charlie Waller Trust and The British Inspiration Trust.

If you are interested in taking part:
1. Speak to your students’ union or university about registering a team. If you’re part of a society, you might want to take on the challenge as a society, or you may wish to join a team representing your institution as a whole.
2. Ask them to register before 16th May 2021, to enable BRIT to invite British Sporting Icons to support you. A Virgin Money Giving fundraising page connected to the challenge will be set up on your behalf, and the link will be emailed to the coordinator.
3. Complete the challenge before 1st July 2021. You can find guidance on how to reach your target on the BRIT 2021 Challenge website. 

You can find The BRIT 2021 Challenge on Twitter and Instagram @BRIT_Challenge, and connect with others taking part.
