Active Calderdale

What’s the Challenge?

The 502 Challenge is a new active challenge for the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) Sector in Calderdale. 2024 is the 50th year of Calderdale so what better way to celebrate than exploring all that our beautiful borough has to offer from local hidden gems to community activities supporting movement and wellbeing.

Taking part in the 502 Challenge is an opportunity to show your appreciation of where you live/work, increase your movement, have fun whilst doing it and receive a limited edition 502 Challenge medal to proudly wear!

Let’s make the next  50 days all about moving more! Whether you’re walking, running, gardening, cycling, or doing simple exercises at home, every bit of activity counts. Share your creative ways to stay active and inspire others to join in.

Who Can Join?
The challenge is open to anyone affiliated with a VCSE organisation across Calderdale. Whether you’re a volunteer, a paid member of staff, supporter of a group, or just love being part of the community, we want you to get involved.

Encourage your family, friends, and colleagues to join in and make it a fun, community-wide effort to stay active together!
