Your Challenge. Your Way.

Why not turn that New Year energy into meaningful action by taking on a personal fundraising challenge, your way, which will raise funds for autistic people and their families across the region.

Every challenge brings change.

For us, it’s never “New Year, New You”

At Autism Anglia, we’re all about celebrating acceptance and inclusion and so this is why we’re inviting you to fundraise your way.

You do ‘you’.

In 2026 we’re inviting you to fundraise your way.

“Your challenge. Your Way” is a year-long campaign, which invites our supporters, local businesses, schools, club, teams, and families to get creative with a personalised fundraising idea which is unique to you.

Just pick a passion, past time, or pursuit, set a goal, and then rally up support to cheer you on for success!

At Autism Anglia, we’re passionate about acceptance and inclusion. And so we’d love you to get involved in whichever way works for you.

For personal challenges, there’s no required fundraising targets and all donations raised will go directly towards supporting autistic people and their families across East Anglia throughout 2026 and beyond.

Ready to change the lives of others? Fantastic! Get thinking of that perfect challenge, spread the word, and let’s make 2026 a celebration of giving and inclusion!

How to create a personal fundraising challenge

When creating your challenge we recommend using the following format in order to get clear on your goal:

“On the <insert date/time> I will be <Insert passion/pastime/pursuit> for <insert time, distance or goal> in aid of Autism Anglia”

Examples: “On the 14th January, I will complete 20 acts of kindness for friends, family and colleagues by 5pm, in aid of Autism Anglia” or “In January, I will walk a total of 40 miles around my neighbourhood in aid of Autism Anglia”.
