Cardiff
Gather your Challenge troops and take a look at the projects available for you to pick from this year. Local charities in the Cardiff area can't wait to invite you back for some DIY make-over magic, valuable virtual ventures, or some good old fashioned party planning!
Our five different project categories are displayed below. Each challenge will be marked with the icon most relevant to that particular project.
For each project we're providing up to £500 towards costs, so no fundraising required!
For all banking enquiries, please contact your ZCT Administrator, Marie Jones.

CARD3 A Courtyard Transformation!
The Challenge
The charity would like a small team to freshen up the enclosed courtyard at their Cardiff premises. It is a very small space that a team could easily improve by cleaning, de-weeding, and then repainting the walls. The addition of a recycling store to hide the bins, wooden planters, and wall/window boxes to display a variety of shrubs and bedding plants would really help to brighten the space. Project photos >

City Hospice is extremely fortunate to have the support of around 250 volunteers. They simply couldn't be more grateful for all the support they receive and would love to be able to provide a small thank you! Use your imagination to supply them with small thank you gifts, which this year could be branded merchandise, such as a pen or car sticker. The hospice can distribute the gifts to the volunteers.
