Dorset disability charity to host sixth Country Challenge
Organised by Diverse Abilities, the fundraiser challenges teams to compete in clay pigeon shooting, target rifles, archery, and more.
Dorset’s disability charity Diverse Abilities is organising the sixth Country Challenge taking place at Purbeck Shooting School near Wareham this summer.
On Friday 20 June, the fundraising tournament challenges teams to compete across five different activities: clay pigeon shooting, target rifles, archery, fly fishing and catapults.
It costs from £550 for teams of four to enter the challenge. The fee includes a bacon sandwich and lunch, and each activity will come with expert tuition to maximise chances of winning.
The money raised will go towards the vital services offered by the charity, including days out for children who attend the charity’s school holidays activities, equipment at Langside School, and activities for adults who attend The Beehive – the charity’s activity and day centre.
Demi Tarrant, events executive at Diverse Abilities, said: “This is a great way to get all the team together to try something new. Over the past five years, we have seen teams learn new skills and get to know each other as a team.
“It doesn’t matter if you haven’t tried any of the activities before, it’s a great way to learn and have fun, whilst raising money for a good cause.”
Purbeck Shooting School was established in 1955 and has been voted as the Best Shooting Ground in the UK.
The charity is also looking for sponsors for the Country Challenge event, where businesses will receive promotion on the day and in pre and post event communications including printed material, social media and press releases. Find out more about these opportunities by emailing events@diverseabilities.org.uk.
