World Cup Keepy-uppy Challenge

Every keepy-uppy helps end homelessness

Support us in this first ever SSJ keepy-uppy challenge!

This World Cup we’re excited to launch our SSJ World Cup keepy-uppy challenge. Trying to reach 50,000 by the end of the World Cup!

We’d love as many people as possible to get involved. Whether you’re a total beginner or already have some skills, it’s all about having fun whilst helping to end homelessness. The full challenge will officially run from:
Monday 18th May – 19th July

 

What’s the challenge?

We’re aiming to reach an incredible 50,000 keepy-uppies this World Cup – and every single one helps support our work to end homelessness locally.

How to take part:

  • Film yourself, your colleagues, and/or service users doing as many keepy- uppies as you can
  • You get 3 attempts, and all 3 scores are added together to make your final total
  • Send your videos and final score to: fundraising@ssj.org.uk OR via DM on Facebook or Instagram

Make it your own:

  • Add in any skills, tricks, or creative flair you’ve got.
  • Feel free to make it fun – dress up in a silly costume or even use something unusual like a piece of fruit for your keepy uppies.
  • Once you’ve finished, nominate 3 other people to take on the challenge.

Pledge & impact:

  • If you’d like to contribute, you can pledge 10p per keepy uppy or donate £10 to take part.
  • Click here to visit our JustGiving page and donate.
  • After your first go, keep it going! You can continue daily or regularly to build your total and help us reach our target of 50,000 keepy-uppies.
