Out In The Open

Facebook automatically sets the target on your page at £150! However, we only ask that you raise as much as you’re able to. You can adjust your target according to the challenge you'd like to set yourself too.

That's absolutely okay! The only thing that matters is that you challenge yourself. However much you achieve, we're so grateful for your support and for raising much needed funds for YoungMinds.

You can take part no matter how old you are! However, if you’re under 16, you will need a parent or guardian to sign you up to the challenge. Please email fundraising@youngminds.org.uk with permission from your parent or guardian.

You should only take part in the challenge if it feels right for you. If doing an exercise challenge could trigger you or affect your mental health for the worse, please put your mental health first and don’t take part. There are plenty of other ways you can get involved, whether that’s donating to another person’s fundraiser or sharing our website with your friends and family.

If you’re struggling with an eating or exercise problem, or you think you might be, please know that support is available. For help and advice, take a look at our guide to eating problems for young people.

A first step could be visiting your GP to explore what support is available to you. You can find your nearest eating disorder service on the NHS website. You may also find it helpful to contact BEAT, who specialise in providing advice around eating problems and disorders.

Alternatively, if you are a parent worried about your child's eating, take a look at our parents' guide to eating problems.

Absolutely! It's your personal challenge and we encourage everyone to adapt it to suit their needs and goals. Why not calculate how may miles 300,00 steps covers approximately and consider if you want to complete a similar distance?

Nope! This is your challenge, so you can do it any way you like. If you’d like to use all 30 days in June to spread out the steps or do it in two weeks, that’s absolutely fine. If you have any concerns, please talk to your doctor before taking part in this challenge. The challenge should be completed however is best for your health and physical ability.

You are more than welcome to take part wherever you are based in the world. However unfortunately we can only ship t-shirts to UK addresses.
