CHALLENGE EVENTS ARE

BACK! Get active with our 2022 fundraising events

The last couple of years have been challenging for everyone, but we’re giving you the opportunity to experience a different kind of challenge in our first full programme of fundraising events since 2019.

Signing up to one of the Julia’s House challenges is a great way to step positively into 2022 and help support local families across Dorset and Wiltshire.

“Like many charities, we were forced to cancel so many of our events over the last two years. This has had a significant impact on our fundraising income but has also been disappointing for lots of people who we know love to come out and support Julia’s House in this way,” explains Hannah Miller, our Events Manager.

JURASSIC COAST TREK 26 JUNE Take on our epic trek along the Dorset coastline, mastering cliff top climbs and enjoying breath-taking views. Celebrate your achievement with a prosecco and hog roast at our finish line in the magnificent grounds of Harry Warren House over-looking Old Harry Rocks. GREAT WILTSHIRE WALK 17 JULY Our popular hike through the beautiful Wiltshire landscape is bigger and better than ever, taking in spectacular scenery and landmarks such as Avebury’s World Heritage Stone Circle. A glass of fizz will be waiting for you at the finish, the Kings Arms, All Cannings.

Both our Dorset and Wiltshire hikes are completed in one day and have 26 and 13 mile routes.

THE BIG JUMP 23 APRIL The Julia’s House skydive takes place again at the Army Parachute Association near Salisbury. Places are limited so sign up quickly for a tandem skydive taking in once-in-a-lifetime aerial views on the way down. It’s an experience you’ll never forget!

RUN BOURNEMOUTH 8–9 OCTOBER Sign up for a free charity place as you run and fundraise for Julia’s House! Choose from the half-marathon, 10k or 5k. There are also junior races for children aged from three to 12, so your family can run for the Julia’s House families. TAILOR-MADE TREKS If you’re a local business looking for an inspiring team building day or just want to organise a get together with friends to celebrate a special occasion, we now offer specially trained guides who can organise a private guided hike in Dorset or Wiltshire just for you. Just choose when and where you’d like to go, how far and how challenging!

WE’LL BE THERE FOR YOU Sign up for any of our challenges and you’ll receive one-to-one support from our events team, a free running vest or t-shirt, medal and access to our Fundraisers Facebook Group.

COVID-19 We’re confident that our events will be able to go ahead and will be ensuring everyone’s safety by taking all the necessary Government precautions on the day. If events do have to be cancelled, we will offer everyone the option to withdraw or postpone until 2023.
