Alternative Heptathlon Charity Challenge
Alternative Heptathlon Charity Challenge (14–28 June)
This summer, HW Facilities is taking on the Alternative Heptathlon — a flexible, inclusive fundraising challenge where everyone can take part, whatever your fitness level. Choose one, some or all seven challenges, join organised events, or complete activities in your own time and location.
What is the Alternative Heptathlon?
The Alternative Heptathlon is a two-week charity challenge (14–28 June) supporting Dorothy House. You can join one event, take on a few, or go for all seven — and you can adapt the challenges to suit you (for example, breaking goals into smaller chunks across the two weeks).
How to Take Part?
- Choose your challenge(s) — one, some, or all seven.

Fundraising for Dorothy House
Dorothy House provides vital care and support to people with life-limiting illnesses, as well as their families and loved ones. Their work makes a real difference to so many people, and we’re proud to support them.
Dorothy House covers an area of approx. 800sq miles with a population of around 593,000 across Bath & North East Somerset (B&NES) and parts of Wiltshire and Somerset.
Every donation, big or small, will help them continue delivering compassionate care when it matters most.
We’re raising money together to support Dorothy House, and every donation helps. If you can give, thank you — and if you can’t, sharing the page is a huge help too.
