The 1625 Challenge

Turn your January resolution into support for young people!

This January, take part in The 1625 Challenge, a new fundraising and awareness challenge supporting young people facing homelessness.

The idea is simple: spend 1,625 minutes (around 27 hours) across January doing something that supports your wellbeing or personal growth, while raising funds for 1625 Independent People.
