Action Challenge Series
Our Challenge 21 is getting an upgrade in 2021! Challenge 50 allows you to decide on your own challenge or event and how big or small you want it to be. You could decide to do 50 star jumps, bake 50 cupcakes or even a random act of kindness each day for 50 days.
Get your friends, family, work or school involved and see what different and exciting ideas you can come up with to celebrate our 50th Anniversary. As 50 years means gold, why not involve the colour in your event plans? You may even want to throw a golden themed DSA party to celebrate with everyone you care about! You can find some ideas here!
