There’s still plenty of time for Scout groups to take part in our ROAR-some DinoDay Challenge before the end of the summer. We’d love your help reaching more groups across the UK.
Last week we celebrated DinoDay, our annual event to raise vital funds for Contact’s support services for families with disabled children. Thousands of families and children across the UK have been taking on 19 exciting activities for the DinoDay Challenge. They’ve raised over £46,000 so far!
But the fun doesn’t stop there, as groups are continuing their fundraising efforts throughout the summer. And we’d like to know: is your child in a Scout group who could take part in the DinoDay Challenge?
How can Scout groups get involved?
DinoDay is a flexible fundraising event, and Scout groups can take part in whatever way works best for them.
We encourage groups to get involved by completing activities inspired by the number 19. From dinosaur crafts and outdoor adventures to games, acts of kindness and any other creative challenges.
If your child attends Scouts, or if you know a local Scout leader, please consider sharing this opportunity to get involved with DinoDay. Scout groups can get in touch with us for more information at [email protected]
There are lots of exciting rewards for groups that take part. This includes free DinoDay t-shirts, and a digital certificate to celebrate every child’s achievement. Scout groups that raise £150 or more will receive an exclusive DinoDay trophy!
Taking part could also contribute towards a Scouts fundraising badge – helping children and young people to build confidence, teamwork and community-minded skills while making a meaningful difference to families with disabled children.
Help us support families who need us
Hannah Hassouni from Contact said:
“DinoDay is all about having fun while making a real difference to families with disabled children. We know many parents have links with Scout groups through their own children. We’d be incredibly grateful if you could help us share DinoDay with your group’s leaders. Together, we can help even more young people have fun, earn rewards and support families who need us.”
If you know a Scout leader who might be interested, we’d love for you to spread the word. Please encourage them to get in touch with us at [email protected]
Every pound raised through DinoDay helps Contact provide expert advice, information and emotional support to families with disabled children across the UK.
