Event or challenge materials (eg t-shirt hasn’t arrived)

Please check any emails you’ve been sent about the event or challenge. If materials such as your t-shirt, race number, skipping rope, etc have not arrived by the time specified, please contact us by live chat or phone us on 0300 123 1022.

If your t-shirt doesn’t fit or you have lost your event materials, we will do our best to give you a replacement, if available. Your email or frequently asked questions on the event page will tell you how to request a replacement. Find your event or challenge to view the FAQs.

We ask that you only order one t-shirt when taking part in an event or challenge as providing materials comes at a cost to the charity.
