What is 5K for 50 Years?
To celebrate 50 years of Junction Arts, this September, we're inviting our supporters to ‘pass the baton’ as they complete a 5K challenge and raise £250 to support our work.
Step One
Your 5K your way
The first step is to decide how you’ll take on your 5K. Walk it, run it, skip it, or even dance your way to the finish — however you choose to reach 5 kilometres, it all counts. Go solo or team up with friends, bring the kids along, or take your dog for the adventure. However you do it, everyone is welcome!
Step Two
Choose the date and location
You can take on the challenge anytime between 12th–27th September, at a date and time that works for you. The location is completely up to you too — head out into the countryside, explore your town, hit a sports field or running track, or even complete it in a shopping mall. The choice is yours.
Step Three
Set up a Just Giving page
Visit our campaign page. Choose how you’d like to take part, then create your JustGiving account — or log in if you already have one. Personalise your page by adding a photo and sharing why you're supporting Junction Arts. Set a fundraising target or £250!
Step Four
Share your challenge!
Now it’s time to spread the word! Share your page with friends, family, and colleagues, and post it on social media — don’t forget to tag Junction Arts. Keep your supporters engaged by sharing training photos, challenge updates, and celebrating your fundraising milestones along the way.
Junction Arts is a registered charity, and we rely on donations to continue delivering the impactful work we do in your community. This year, as we celebrate our 50th birthday, we’re looking ahead — this milestone is a perfect opportunity to help secure the next 50 years of Junction Arts. We’d love for you to take part in our 5K for 50 Years challenge, or support someone who is. If you’re unable to get involved this time, don’t worry, there are plenty of other ways you can support us. Take a look below to find out more.
