The Christmas 1.5 Challenge


This December, we’re inviting you to take on a festive version of The 1.5 Challenge to support learning disabled people.

The number 1.5 represents the 1.5 million learning disabled people in the UK. This Christmas, we’re asking you to choose a fun and meaningful challenge inspired by this number and help raise vital funds to support them.

Whether you go big or keep it simple, the challenge is completely up to you. Here are some festive ideas to get you started. You could:

  • Walk or run 1.5 miles each day in December
  • 15 minutes of dancing to your favourite Christmas tunes,
  • Bake 15 mince pies and sell them to friends and neighbours
  • Read 15 books over the holidays
  • Organise a festive Come Dine with Me for 15 people
  • 15 acts of kindness

All ages and abilities are welcome the challenge is as flexible and creative as you want it to be. The only goal is to raise funds and awareness so more learning disabled people can live the lives they choose.

Right now, many people with learning disabilities are missing out
on the opportunities and support they deserve. With your help,
we can change that. Let’s make this Christmas count.

Will you take on The Christmas 1.5 Challenge and support learning
disabled people this festive season?
