Hope for the Young’s 4000-Mile Challenge

This September, we’re taking on an epic fundraising challenge!
If you’ve followed our work for a while, you’ll know that every year, we take on a challenge event to raise vital funds for our programmes.
The theme of our 2022 challenge is #4000MilesToSafety.
4000 miles is the average distance that the young people we support have travelled to get to the UK. This includes Afghanistan (4676 miles), Eritrea (4999 miles), Iran (3410 miles), Syria (2829 miles), and Vietnam (5374 miles).
That’s why, from 1st September to 30th September, we’re asking you, our amazing supporters, to join us as we attempt to reach a combined distance of 4000 miles and help us raise £10,000 in aid of Hope for the Young.
Want to take part? Here's how!
1. Sign up to the event using this link.
You can sign up as an individual or assemble an awesome team.
2. Choose how many miles to complete and how you want to do them
You could walk around your local park every day, team up with your friends to cycle from London to Brighton, swim 5km every week, or even take on a half-marathon.
3. Start clocking those miles!
Grab your walking boots, cycling shorts, or swimming goggles, and join us in our attempt to reach 4000 miles in September!
Whether you can reach 1 mile, 10 miles, or 100 miles, every mile you complete and every penny you raise will go directly towards supporting young refugees to access the education and one-to-one support they need to rebuild their lives.
Walk with us!

The 4000-Mile Challenge will culminate in the big event – our annual Sponsored Walk!
Join Hope for the Young staff, volunteers, young people and friends on 24th September as we take on a 10-mile route around the beautiful Hampstead Heath.
Click here to sign up now.
We can’t wait to see you there!
