Move 5

Move 5 is back! 17-27 October 2025

Every year we ask children to take on a physical challenge themed around the number 5 and then get sponsored to do it. It’s all about joyful movement and child-led fun while also raising greatly needed donations for families managing eczema.

This year you can choose from one of our five simple challenges and then do it together between 17 and 27 October.

Just pick your favourite:

Race 5: A big challenge for little legs – a 5km family walk, run or cycle. Too easy for your child? Try stepping it up and doing 5km every day for 5 days!

Fit 5: A 1-minute daily fitness challenge for 5 days – silly moves like jumping jacks, squats, star jumps or lunges. Kids lead the routine

Find 5:Go on a scavenger hunt in a park or public place and try to find the things on our special Move 5 list – can your kids solve the riddles and find the secret message? We have two hunts available, one with riddles for older children, and a simpler list for little ones. (Hunts will be sent out after 1st Oct to everyone who has set up a fundraising page.)

Step 5: Count 5,000 steps a day for 5 days – walk to the shops, the park, or march around the living room! (Mum or Dad might have equipment to help keep count for this one.)

Dance 5: Pick 5 favourite songs and have a daily mini dance party. Shake it out and celebrate joy in motion.
