Last year we asked you to Move a Million Miles for Charity and you pledged over 37,000 miles of activity, raising over £10,000 for our charities. The Million Miles campaign is still active, and you can still take part, but this year we are also holding a sleep out and we are asking you to sleep under the stars for the night, in aid of the homeless and disadvantaged children in our district.
​
Million Miles raised funds for four main charities in 2023: Mind South East, The Rainbow Centre, Shepway Sports Trust, and Channel Rotary Hardship Fund. This year our big project is to raise funds towards a base from where homeless people in our town can start, with the aid of mentors, to rebuild their lives.
​
With this in mind we are launching our Sleep Out, asking you to 'Sleep Under a Million Stars' in aid of the homeless in our district. Firstly we are looking for people to come along to our Sleep Out event at Three Hills on the 8th November - we want people who can get some publicity for their efforts and who can raise some sponsorship. Places will be limited so please register as soon as you can.
​
Secondly, we want anyone who wants to join in the fun to organise their own mini sleep-outs in their own gardens, with friends and family, have some fun, raise some sponsorship and share your experiences
on our social media.
​
​
​​
We'd like to continue our journey towards the million miles of activity for local charities,
encouraging as many people as possible across our community to get active.
Whether you set your own challenge or take part in an organised event, pledge your target
(miles, steps, minutes etc) make your pledge now
​
This is a great opportunity to get active for your own health and to help others in your community!
Whatever your age or physical ability, challenge yourself and help us to raise funds through
sponsored activity of any kind, from running a marathon to climbing stairs;
from rowing the equivalent of the channel to walking to school!
​​
You can see what some of our participants have done so far here, where you can
also continue to support their efforts.​​
​
The possibilities are endless – get involved today!
