Our Supporters

We can't say thank you enough....

Challenge Wales relies on the good will of many organisations who provide services, materials and support in-kind or at a significantly reduced cost. We also have supporters who provide financial support and some supporters who wish to remain anonymous. We give a heartfelt thanks to each and everyone of you. Over the last 16 years – YOUR SUPPORT has truly made a difference, we couldn’t have achieved what we did without you – and that legacy lives on in the young people we supported. THANK YOU.
