This March, join us for a month of fundraising and awareness raising for 3 incredible, female-orientated charities.
Whether you choose to do one of the charity challenges, organise a fundraising event or simply attend one of our amazing Week of Women events, there are so many ways you can get involved!
Note: all funds raised for this month will be divided equally between the three charities. You do not choose one of the charities to fundraise for.
The Charities
The three wonderful charities being supported by our International Women's Month are Maddy's Mark, Coppafeel! and Voices.
Maddy's Mark was established to remember Maddy Lawrence (a local student) who passed away at just 20 years old from sepsis following a rugby injury. The funds raised go towards promoting positive mental health and wellbeing in young girls through the sport of rugby.
Coppafeel! are a breast cancer awareness charity who speak to young people in their natural habit. From festivals to shower cubicles. to university campuses, they will be there to talk boobs and affecr real behaviour change.
Voices work together with people who have been affected by domestic abuse and work to promote recovery. Their aim is to help families to recover and thrive.
The Challenges
It couldn't be easier to get involved with International Women's Month - all you need to do is choose one of our wonderful challenges to take part in!
Please note that regardless of which challenge you choose, you will be fundraising for all three charities and funds raised will be donated equally.

FREEDOM!
An unknown location. 100 miles from Bath. No money. Can you make it home before midnight? In your teams of 2 you will be driven in a blacked out coach to an undisclosed location and stranded 100 miles from campus. You will then have to use your resilience, teamwork and powers of persuasion to get your way back to campus before midnight without using any money. With fun challenges to complete along the way for extra points and of course extra fundraising to do along the way, will you make it back? Find out more information and sign up here.
