Challenges
Diabetes UK Scotland
Are you a seasoned fundraiser who fancies a step up from gentler events? Or maybe you're already a thrillseeker and want to help a good cause at the same time?
Whatever your motivation, we welcome your support. We have a range of challenges on offer, including abseiling, zip slides, parachuting and white water rafting - all raising desperately needed funds to help people with diabetes.
If no forthcoming events are listed below, please check back later - new events are added regularly.

Loch Ness

Take on the "Big Yin" - conditions can be challenging on this one mile swim, but the views down Loch Ness are awe-inspiring. For the novice open-water swimmer, the "Wee Nessie" half mile swim is also an excellent first-time challenge.

Isle of Arran
Come challenge yourself, friends or workmates, and be part of the action in the 2013 Arran Bike'n’Hike Challenge. Cycle 55 miles around the beautiful Isle of Arran, then, if you’re really up for a challenge, you can choose to climb the island's highest peak, Goat Fell, at 2867ft.
This is a unique event organised by GE Caledonian volunteers in aid of Diabetes UK Scotland, and funds raised from this event will go to support children's holidays.
Sign up now for the Arran Bike'n'Hike Challenge.

Some people jump out of a plane for kicks, others pluck up the courage for a good cause – you can combine the two with Diabetes UK.
