Take On A Challenge For Oakleaf
2026-01-01 - 2026-12-31
Create your own event. Make a difference.
OR purchase their own ticket for a challenge (Battersea ½ marathon, Everest Trek) in support of Oakleaf. They will need to purchase their own tickets with the organisers in order to do so.
Whether you’re running a marathon, climbing a mountain, hosting a quiz night or baking your way to your fundraising goal—we’d love to have you as part of #TeamOakleaf.
This year, we’re encouraging supporters to take on personal challenges to raise vital funds for mental health support. Whatever you choose to do, your efforts help us provide counselling, employment support and wellbeing activities to those who need it most.
If you don’t want to set up your own fundraising event, but still want to support Oakleaf, you can purchase your own event tickets with external organisers and raise money for our charity that way.
Our team is here to support you every step of the way with resources and encouragement.
Tell us what you’re planning! Get in touch with Jane regarding your challenge idea, and we’ll be there to help you make it a success: janefelton@oakleaf-enterprise.org
