Challengers

Challengers Challengers is a charity dedicated to transforming the lives of disabled children, young people and their families through the power of play ✨

Challengers is a registered children's charity, established in 1979, dedicated to providing exciting and challenging play and leisure opportunities for disabled children and young people. We do this through our play and youth centres in Guilford and Farnham and through our range of community based projects across Surrey and, increasingly, the surrounding areas. A significant benefit of our service

is that it provides families with short-breaks during high pressure times e.g. at the weekend or during the school holidays, enabling them to do ‘ordinary’ activities such as shopping or spending time with their other children. Families have told us that this lifeline of support keeps them strong.

We are thrilled to be sponsoring Guildford Galaxy FC, the kits look amazing! Thank you🧡
