Challenge and Fundraising Events

‘I will be fundraising for Pecan, a charity devoted to empowering individuals and families facing adversity.’

Ready to challenge yourself and change lives?

Whether you run, swim, row, or cycle – why not turn your energy into hope?

Your efforts – and the donations you raise – reach people who may feel invisible: the isolated person longing for connection, the family struggling with food poverty. Your generosity helps us build a community where no one is left behind. It fuels all our services, from providing food through our foodbank and pantry, to creating safe spaces for women, offering employment support and training, and keeping our warm hub and community hub open to everyone.

Your support really helps!

Every mile, every stroke, every step is a lifeline. Together, we can challenge poverty and transform lives.

If you are interested in taking part in any of the following, get in touch with our Partnerships Manger and we can secure your place. We are asking that participants set up an Enthuse or use Pecan’s page so you can start fundraising!
