About Move for Medals
Hello and welcome to Move for Medals! This is a virtual challenge and fundraising community with a difference - it's not just about keeping active and achieving your goals, it's also about supporting great causes around the country.
I set up Move for Medals after seeing another company profiting from a Remembrance Sunday-themed medal, with none of the proceeds donated to any charities that work with Armed Forces personnel.
With Move for Medals, I pledged that every medal sold will directly benefit good causes because now, more than ever, we need to support each other.

8How do I complete my challenge?
That's up to you!
Some medals might have a particular goal associated with them, for example "complete 13 miles" or "complete 10,000 steps a day for a month" . You can complete these challenges your own way, at your own pace, and take as much time as you need.
You don't need to provide evidence that you've completed your challenge - just remember only to reward yourself with your medal once you've done it!

10I need to amend my details!
No problem! Send us a message with your order number and what you need to change, and we'll update it.

Absolutely, and what a great idea. If you think you can raise a bit more money for your chosen charity, why not look at setting up a fundraising page and encouraging donations from friends and family?
Websites like JustGiving and GoFundMe offer easy, free ways of getting donations. Remember that every penny raised for good causes makes a huge difference.

12Can I suggest a charity for a future medal?
Yes, you can! We're always looking to support other charities and working on designs for future medals.
If you've got a charity you'd like us to consider supporting, or even a design for a medal that you think we could put into production, then send it to us and we'll take a look!
