START the year on the right foot by completing 24 hours of physical activity for St Helena Hospice.

The charity's annual Around the Clock Challenge is back, giving you a chance to redeem yourself of December's food sins.

Sarah Phillips, challenges fundraiser, said: “Our Around The Clock Challenge is a great way to burn off all the indulgences of the festive season, while ticking off a few new year resolutions; including the old favourites, being more charitable and being more active.

“The best thing is you do your own choice of activity wherever and whenever you can throughout January for a total of 24 hours. Even walking the dog counts.

"You could do it as a personal challenge or maybe get your work colleagues, aerobics class, gym buddy or sports team to do it with you."

Participants can log their hours on an app or keep a paper log which you will receive in an information pack once you sign up.

The challenge costs £10 to enter and the hospice is asking for a minimum of £24 sponsorship – equating to just £1 per hour of activity.

The sponsorship amount could cover the cost of home cooked meals for one of the patients staying at the hospice’s Inpatient Unit for two days.
