We want to raise awareness of gender inequality affecting young people. By raising money for Young Women’s Trust we are shaping a world in which women will be given the same value and respect as men.

We’re challenging you to take on 50 Miles in February. You can choose to walk, run or cycle – this is your challenge, your way. By taking part you’re helping support young women progress at work and raise awareness of the income gap so together we can campaign for a more equal world of work.

Get your friends, families and colleagues involved – do it on your own or in a team. Get fit and raise money to support young women.

Host an event

Whether it’s a quiz, a feminist book club, or a film night, bring your friends together (online or in person) and raise funds to create real change for young women. Don’t forget to tell us your plans and tag us on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.

Take on a challenge

You could try a half marathon, start running with Couch to 5k or giving something up for a month. Pick a challenge that tests your strength or resilience to raise vital money and awareness for the cause.

Arrange a sweepstake

The possibilities for sweepstakes are endless: sports tournaments; how many sweets in the jar; reality TV shows; guessing your time in a half marathon; awards ceremonies…

Ask your friends or colleagues to donate £2 per entry and choose a prize for the winner. Draw names (or number of sweets/half marathon times) from a hat before the event starts, then sit back and enjoy the fun!

Set up a Facebook fundraiser

Collect donations via Facebook for your birthday or a special occasion. You can also add a donate sticker to your Instagram stories. Make sure to tell your friends and followers why you care about standing in solidarity with young women, and why they should too!


We’d love you to stay in touch so you can find out about our latest news and updates.
