50th Anniversary

Schedule of celebratory events running throughout 2025

2025 marks the 50th anniversary of Elidyr Communities Trust becoming a registered charity. In recognition of this we are celebrating by holding a number of events throughout the year.

Below is a list of these events along with dates 

Big 50 Challenge: Ongoing throughout the year.

Elidyr's Big 50 Challenge

As part of our 50th anniversary, we're taking on a Big 50 Challenge, and everyone's invited to get involved.

50 miles, 50 kilometres, 50 days, 50 weeks... by foot, peddle, paddle... any Big 50 Challenge you can can think of.

And, getting sponsored is a fantastic way to help you stay motivated throughout the year. We've created a campaign page on Just Giving, with every penny raised going towards sporting equipment and wellbeing activities for our learners and residents at Elidyr.
