Events

Throughout the year we host a number of events and challenges to fundraise.

Would you like to come along to our Charity Ball this year and dance the night away whilst supporting Unique Kidz and Co? Or maybe you fancy the challenge of running 13.1 miles around the streets of Newcastle? Are you looking for a fun team event to take part in with your colleagues whilst getting extremely muddy?

If you would like to put on an event to raise money for Unique Kidz and Co, call the Fundraising Team on 07733 102 202 or for more information on our upcoming events and challenges just read on …

Wagz & Walkz Challenge – Raise Money By Walking Your Dog In The Month Of March.

Dog lovers who sign up will be tasked with walking 50 miles over the month of March, share their progress and collect sponsorship and donations for Unique Kidz & Co.

    • We ask for each dog (or dog pack) to create their own Facebook Fundraiser page within our Campaign, they may need a helping human hand of course. We would like you to aim to raise a minimum of £50.
  • Please share your dog’s page and progress, updating us and your friends along the way and encouraging more donations. Facebook is particularly helpful at sharing and raising more donations.
  • Everyone taking part can join the Wagz & Walkz Facebook group to share photos and updates of their dogs and walks.
  • If you do not want to fundraise via sponsorship, then that’s no problem! We would really appreciate a donation to either other dogs you know or to Unique Kidz & Co directly.

The Wagz & Walkz challenge can be as flexible as you, or your pooch need to be! Take as long as you like, start early or finish later, or even take longer than month! Just complete the 50m at a pace that suits you and your wonderful dog!

Everybody who signs up will be sent a sponsorship pack which includes;

  • A Wagz & Walkz bandana(s) for your dog(s) – perfect for photo updates throughout the challenge!
  • A helpful guide to setting up a Facebook Fundraiser
  • A paper sponsorship form for any cash collected
  • An information sheet with tips, FAQs and a distance tracker
  • Packs can be delivered or collected from Unique Kidz & Co
  • When you complete the 50 miles we will send your dog a customised certificate
