Our Programmes
We offer all that you see on this website but behind the scenes we are working on four separate initiatives designed to increase our social impact:
For Individuals:
The All in One
Challenge your mind, body and social conscience. Learn a new skill. Take on a new physical challenge. Make a social contribution. Feel fulfilled.
Alternatively Full Members may register for the Hub’s own less demanding version of the Charities Challenge.
The Loughborough Challenge
The Loughborough Challenge is for those who are aged from 25 to 54 (and so who do not qualify for The All in One) but who self-certify as having a mental or physical impairment. The rules are identical to those of The All in One and so The Loughborough Challenge offers the same ideal structure and motivation for fun and self-development with its related health benefits.
For Employers:
Bridge to Retirement
Research shows that losing the structure and routine of the workplace through retirement or redundancy can trigger a very difficult period of readjustment for many.
For Communities:
The Charities Challenge™
Design your own challenge to achieve your own social outcomes and run it through us. Age is not relevant. Inter-generational is great.
Generations Together
Do you organise events where you would like us to encourage older people to take part? Are you involved with younger people who might benefit from engagement with over-55s? If so why not contact us.
Social Prescribing
Social prescription is an initiative whereby patients are referred by their GPs to Link Workers in preference to a medical prescription. Those Link Workers are trained to place the patient into situations which address the underlying causes of their condition. The Challenge Hub can assist (a) as a resource for those Link Workers and (b) as a support and motivator for the patients themselves.
Are you involved in delivering on social prescription? If you think we might be able to help you then contact us.

With our thanks:
"We are incredibly grateful to The Communications Group who have designed and developed this website. They have been extraordinarily generous both with their time and with their advice. They have understood the potential social benefits of this initiative from the outset so that they have enhanced our thinking and worked alongside us at every stage. In the absence of funding it is no exaggeration to say that without them The Challenge Hub might not have been possible. Thank you."
