Let's celebrate Kids Alive! 140th birthday! 🍰
Join in the celebrations of the longest-running children’s magazine in the world, as it marks its 140th anniversary. Instead of a giant cake and presents (blowing out the candles would take for ever!) we encourage kids from across the UK get involved in a challenge to raise money for their local corps. The idea is that you ask people to sponsor you to do 140 things and/or try to raise £140.
Each week starting from 10 July until their anniversary issue on 21 August, Kids Alive! will feature a themed week to inspire you with ideas on how to get involved.
The six themes are:
- Show off your sporty skills
- Discover a love of learning
- Connect with your creativity
- Embrace an environmentally friendly activity
- Acts of kindness
- Invent your own idea
The top fundraiser in each category will each win a £20 voucher for The Entertainer!
Adults are welcome to get involved too – Kids Alive! editor Justin Reeves is going to run 140km!
