What's in it for me?

Not only will the money you raise make a big difference to less advantaged children in London, we also have an amazing prize on offer for our Top Fundraiser courtesy of our generous partners – a 2 night stay at Disneyland Paris for 4 people including continental breakfast and return tickets on Eurostar from London St Pancras or Ashford International right up to the park gates. The prize will be awarded to the person who registers for the £95.8 Challenge and who has raised the most money (in cleared funds) by Friday 8th January at 5pm. Terms and conditions apply.

AND, we’ll still enter everyone who manages to raise at least £95.80 into a prize draw to win one of 50 pairs of tickets to an exclusive party hosted by Johnny & Lisa at the world-famous Planet Hollywood restaurant and bar on London's Haymarket - a Late Breakfast if you like.

  1. Last Friday I decided to try and raise money for the 95.8 challenge. I would like to thank all the 6th Form students and staff of Greenford High School for helping me to raise money towards this challenge. Everyone helped with this and I have raised more than 95.8 and am still collecting. Thanks to everyone that contributed.

  4. I'm having a Christmas Party on the 5th, and originally thought I could ask my guests to donate with the proceeds going to an orphanage, only to find when searching local orphanges that they no longer exist.

    Then I remembered about Capital FM's help a London Child, and as every year I try to accomplish a new personal achievement that I can be proud of, I'm glad to be a part of HALC
