Go car free

Do you need to drive to where you are going? Can you give up your car for a day, a week or even longer?

The more difficult it is, the more money you might raise.

Try and find an alternative mode of transport and get your friends and family to sponsor you.

ELF wants to encourage you to give up smoking or vaping.

Perhaps raising money for ELF will provide you that encouragement to #GoSmokeFree.

Use your lungs to share some joy. Challenge yourself as an individual or create a band to sing for a specified amount of time. You could share some joy with your friends by singing a few songs to them. Perhaps you have that special someone to serenade. Whatever you want to incorporate into your sing-a-thon is up to you but remember to take some videos or pictures and pop them onto social media with #ELFsingalong.

Set yourself a steps challenge – look at how many steps you take in an average day using a pedometer or a step counter on your phone. How far will you get in one month? #TakeTheActiveOption
