Barnardos Big Active, supported by ALDI, is an exciting initiative to help students of all ages and abilities focus on their own health and wellbeing, all while helping others.

It takes a holistic approach to supporting students’ wellbeing and promotes three different kinds of activities we call;

• Body – Physical challenges that take care of your body
• Mind – Mindfulness exercises that look after your mental health; and
• Heart – Activities that promote the importance of charity and helping others

Barnardos Big Active, supported by ALDI, promotes the positive activity of fundraising and participating students will help to raise money to transform the lives of thousands of vulnerable children and families Barnardos works with. These are families affected by traumatic life events such as poverty, abuse, neglect, separation, bereavement and mental health challenges.

This is a challenge that turns fundraising on its head and is a great way to get active and feel good while raising funds for Barnardos.
