What do Bronze challenges look like?

Bronze is all about getting started. That means your challenges can be small, simple, and personal — as long as they’re meaningful to you.

Here are some example ideas for each of the five elements:

​

🌀 Move

Get moving in a way that feels good. This isn’t about fitness targets — it’s about doing something active and consistent.

For example:

• Going for a 20-minute walk every day

• Doing a weekly swim or dance class

• Couch to 5k

• Following a gentle yoga or stretching routine at home

• Joining a local walking group

You don’t need to be sporty. Just get your body moving in a way that works for you.

​

🧠 Learn

This could be learning a new skill or brushing up on something you already know.  It should be consistent, probably weekly, over three months.

For example:

• Learning to cook a new type of cuisine

• Practising a language for 10 minutes a day

• Taking a free online course

• Starting a creative hobby like drawing, photography or knitting

• Learning to use a map and compass

You decide what learning means for you.

💛 Give

This could be formal or informal volunteering, helping out a neighbour, or doing something kind for your community.

For example:

• Walking a neighbour’s dog once a week

• Litter picking in your local park

• Helping at a food bank, charity shop or youth group

• Collecting and donating pre-loved items

• Moderating an online group you're part of

Anything that gives a little something back.

🌱 Protect

Choose something that helps protect the planet — big or small.

For example:

• Switching to a refill shop for your household essentials

• Hosting a clothes swap

• Eating only plant-based meals for a month

• Creating a bug hotel or planting wildflowers in your garden or windowsill

• Taking part in a local conservation or clean-up day

One-off actions are fine, especially at Bronze level, but we want you to shout about it - start the ripple effect

🧭 Explore

For those who are able, Bronze Explore is a two-day, one-night human-powered expedition. That might mean hiking, cycling, kayaking, or horse riding — and probably camping.  It doesn’t need to be remote or hardcore. Just plan a mini journey that feels like an adventure to you.
