Welcome To My Yard’s October Challenge 2014! 

Calling all challengers to SHARE & SIGN UP!

Clear your calendar – It’s going down! Welcome To My Yard’s October Challenge 2014 kicks off on October 1st, and you’re invited to take part in the fun. People from around the world are coming together to do a month of fun challenges for a great cause. 

What is it!

It so simple, in fact it won’t cost you anything extra.  Challenge yourself by giving up or cutting back on something you regularly spend money on,  then donate what you save. Last year people cut back on takeaway food, weekly alcohol , coffee, chocolates,  public transport, cut down on the weekly shopping and more.

What is it for?

Welcome To My Yard is an innovative social enterprise partnering with Nepali street children and young people to help them create better futures. Children and young people living and working on the streets are some of the most vulnerable children in the world and we think that they deserve better.  WTMY is making a difference  through fun activities, emotional support, health support, bite size education, vocational training, a street saving scheme and more!

Where is the money going?

The money raised this year will go towards keeping our street community centre open for one whole year!

How much do you want to raise?

This year we want to double last years target. Ambitious? Definitely!

Our target  is  $4,000 / £2,250
