Along with the Children’s Challenge and its sister community event the Gold Challenge, we hope to raise £100,000. That’s a huge challenge in itself, but luckily everyone has the ability to lend a hand! You can undertake your own 2012 themed challenge through the Gold Challenge.

 

The children’s individual challenges are now set, themed by or inspired by the 2012 Olympics and Paralympics. Every challenge will stretch each child’s ability; some include taking their first ever independent steps. This is truly their ‘Mount Everest’ moment.

 

For children at PACE simple every day activities are a real challenge. In contrast, most of us are able to do so much. It is difficult to imagine having to spend months, let alone years, learning how to brush our hair, take a drink or even reach out to touch a friend. A belief in each child’s potential to learn underpins PACE’s “education for life”.
