Physical 800 Sponsorship Challenge

1 minute per child. Support our 800 young people affected by abuse.

800 minutes, 800 chances for children living with abuse.

Thank you to everyone who raised money so that we can continue to help children heal from trauma and end cycles of violence.

Although the Physical: 800 Challenge is now closed, you can still start your own fundraising venture for TLC. Visit our general fundraising page for tips, tricks, and everything you need to get started.

Why support TLC?

1 in 7 UK children have lived with domestic abuse.

Domestic abuse can impact young people far beyond childhood. It can lead to trauma that lasts a lifetime.

By supporting children who’ve experienced abuse, we allow them to come to terms with their trauma. We help break cycles of violence so children don’t learn unhealthy behaviours and use them against other people.

We provide free counselling sessions to children who’ve witnessed violence, and free behaviour change courses to children exhibiting unhealthy relationship behaviour.

We’re a local charity, with proud Northern roots, and have a firm understanding of the issues that impact children within our community.

The children we’ve worked with say our support has improved their confidence and self-esteem, and transformed negative thoughts into positive and productive ones.

How do I take part?

Here are some tips, trips and suggestions for maximising your fundraising potential.

How do I get started?

First, choose your exercise.

If you’re a sporty person and already regularly take part in a physical activity, why not challenge yourself to go that little bit further and set a daily or weekly exercise target so people can see you’re dedicated to the cause?

If you want to take up something new but don’t know where to start, or don’t have access to sporting facilities, there are plenty of ways you can keep fit at home. Exercise videos are a great motivator to push you onward.

You might want to try a HIIT workout, pilates, yoga or strength training. You don’t need any equipment to follow these workouts.

How do I get sponsored?

Set up an online fundraising page with JustGiving so people can easily donate.

Follow this link and click “Start Fundraising” then follow the setup instructions.

Upload pictures, tell your fundraisers why you’ve chosen TLC, and share on social media with your friends and family.

How do I track my activity?

You can track your activity through an app called Strava.

Strava connects to your smartphone or smart watch, and you can link it to your fundraising page.

How do I let you know?

You can post about your achievements in our TLC Facebook Group.

If you raise over £50, we’ll send you a TLC t-shirt in the post!
