This spring, it’s time to gather your colleagues, family and friends for an unforgettable day of adventure, all while supporting a fantastic cause.
On Sunday 8th March 2026, Befriend a Child invites thrill-seekers to take on the Killiecrankie Bungee Jump or Highland Swing, surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of Highland Perthshire.
Under expert guidance from the team at Highland Fling, this opportunity is not just a daring challenge but an extraordinary experience to share. The Highland Swing is open to children aged 10+, while the Bungee Jump welcomes those aged 14+, making it a perfect opportunity to take the leap alongside your children or loved ones. Whether you’re encouraging your colleagues to conquer their fears together or sharing the moment as a family, it’s a truly memorable way to bond whilst making a difference.
For local businesses, this is a fantastic chance to build teamwork, boost morale and show community spirit. Every brave individual helps Befriend a Child continue its vital work providing 1:1 and group mentoring and befriending support to children and young people growing up in difficult life circumstances. Through fun activities and trusted relationships, the charity helps young people grow in confidence, build resilience and believe in brighter futures.
Participants can choose how they’d like to take part:
- Fundraising place – Pay a £20 registration fee and commit to raising a minimum of £200 to support Befriend a Child’s life-changing work.
- Self-funded place – Prefer to skip the fundraising target? Pay £150 to cover your place and enjoy the experience purely for the thrill.
Whether you’re jumping as part of a workplace team, with family or flying solo, your courage will help create more positive experiences for local children who need it most.
Jenna Simpson, Senior Fundraising Coordinator at Befriend a Child, said: “Taking part in the Killiecrankie Challenge is an incredible way to support children and young people who really need a helping hand. Every pound raised helps us provide life-changing support that empowers children and young people to build confidence, reduces their social isolation and opens them up to new life experiences.
It’s also a fantastic opportunity for businesses to come together, strengthen team spirit and make a real difference in their community, all while having an unforgettable day of adventure.”
