Take on the 60 for Sixty Challenge

In 2027, Kidney Wales celebrates 60 years of supporting people affected by kidney disease across Wales.

To mark this milestone, we’re inviting supporters, communities, schools, workplaces, friends, and families to take part in 60 for Sixty – a flexible fundraising challenge designed for everyone.

Whether you raise £60, walk 60 miles, organise a 60-minute fundraiser, or create your own challenge, every action will help raise awareness and vital funds to support people affected by kidney disease.

What is 60 for Sixty?

60 for Sixty is a year-long challenge running from May 2026 to May 2027.

The idea is simple:
 Choose a “60-themed” challenge that works for you and help support Kidney Wales throughout our 60th anniversary year.

Your challenge can be completed:

  • Individually
  • With friends or family
  • At work or school
  • In your local community

There’s no right or wrong way to take part,  just choose something achievable, enjoyable, and meaningful to you.
