Struggling to know what to get someone for Christmas? Maybe you don’t want any gifts but want to feel you are making a difference this season. Donating on someone’s behalf can make you feel good, them feel good and can help transform a young person’s life – that sounds good for everyone! You can donate securely to Challenge Wales through Give As You Live or Justgiving.   If you would like  to donate towards something specific then why not donate to our Challenge Wales boat upgrade campaign. Find out more and donate here.

Buy a Challenge Wales gift voucher which can go towards any of our adult voyages (for those aged 18 – 80 years).  From day sails to 10 day adventures and shorter wildlife voyages too. All profits from our adult sailing experiences get donated to our youth development sail training programme helping more young people to experience outdoor learning. Email us or call us on 029 20 704657 to purchase. Gift vouchers can be for any amount.

A range of low cost watersports items are available to buy with an option to collect from the Penarth Office (near Cardiff). Baseball caps to dry bags to resuable waterbottles (Challenge Wales branded and larger unbranded bottles). Check out the items in our shop and contact us to enquire or place an order. We currently have some buoyancy aids available free of charge but a small donation is welcome and can be collected from the Challenge Wales office by appointment.

Why not donate to something specific? You can help our 2024/2025 Challenge Wales Upgrade appeal. Helping us to continue to help young people in the future. You can read more and donate securely through Justgiving here.

Challenge Wales is reliant on its amazing volunteers. From crewing the boat, to helping with maintenance, to fundraising in the community. If you feel you have something to offer we’d love to hear from you. Volunteering not only helps the young people we support but is an opportunity to meet like-minded people, develop and hone skills while having fun. Find out more about some of our volunteering opportunities and apply to be part of our volunteer team.
