Halifax homeless charity urges people to take on something extraordinary
A Halifax charity which helps some of Calderdale’s most vulnerable is urging people to take on an extreme challenge to raise vital funds.
Happy Days is challenging people across the borough and beyond to step out of their comfort zone and take on something extraordinary to raise money for people experiencing homelessness and crisis.
The charity’s Push Your Limits campaign encourages supporters to choose their own challenge and turn it into a fundraising mission.
Whether it's a skydive, bungee jump, abseil or endurance challenge, the message is to step outside your comfort zone to make a real difference.
For every participant that raises £1,000 in sponsorship, Happy Days will offer a contribution towards the cost of their challenge. Everyone taking part will also receive a Happy Days T-shirt.
Happy Day's CEO, Ellen Boothe, said: “Doing a skydive with my 16-year-old son for Happy Days earlier this year was one of the biggest challenges I’ve ever faced, but knowing that the money raised was helping people in our community made every second worthwhile.
"I’d encourage everyone to push their limits in their own way, because every challenge can make a real difference to someone’s life.”
Participants can set up their own page on the Push Your Limits page at https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/pushyourlimits26 .
