The Heroes Challenge

More than 470 ‘challenge’ certificates have been awarded through the scheme since it first started in 2005.

Each ‘Heroes Challenge Pack' contains 37 basic ‘Life-skill’ and ‘Key-skill’ challenges aimed at building the self confidences of individuals and helping them to do things for themselves. The scheme recognises their achievements and acknowledges personal development through the award of a certificate.

Challenges can range from ‘Using Coins’ or ‘Visiting a Café’ through to ‘Making a Sandwich’ or ‘Washing Pots'. Some challenges can appear to be much easier than others, but for some people, completing what may appear to be a relatively easy task, can equally represent a huge personal achievement.
