Step into Spring

Step into Spring

Are you looking to get active as the days get longer and warmer? Taking on the Step into Spring for student mental health challenge, and setting yourself a target distance to travel during March, could be the motivation you need to make it happen. You’ll also be helping to create a future where every student is able to thrive. 

Sign up

Who can take part? 

The challenge is open to everyone! You can sign up as an individual or a group. We’re excited to be partnering with BUCS to encourage sports teams and societies across the country to take on the challenge as a team. 

All you need to do is: 

1. Sign up and pick a target distance to travel during the month of March. Choose from one of our suggested distances, designed to suit you - whether you’re an individual looking to get moving more or a team of running pros. 
2. Complete the challenge before March 31st. You can reach your target by any means necessary, whether it be walking, running, swimming - the choice is yours! 
3. Ask your loved ones to sponsor you, and raise money to support our work improving the state of student mental health.
   
   

Sign up and you’ll receive:
​

• A fundraising pack with tips, advice and images to share on social media
• Bespoke support from our fundraising team 
• A certificate for completing the challenge
• If you raise £100, we’ll send you a Student Minds t-shirt. If you reach £500, we’ll also send you a Student Minds mug. (For teams, once you’ve raised £100 per person, we’ll send out a t-shirt to every member of your team).
