26 in ’26
Welcome to the home of 26 in ’26!
We are challenging the whole community to support our marathon team by doing their 26 in ’26 – but what does this mean?
26 hours?
26 miles?
26 times?
This challenge is about more than fundraising — it’s about people coming together for good. Whether you’re taking part on your own or with friends, your involvement will help support an important cause while having fun and feeling proud of what you’ve achieved. We’d love for you to join us.

The closing date for your 26 is the 26th December.
The Chiltern Centre is dedicated to supporting young adults with learning disabilities. They may also have physical disabilities and/or complex medical needs. We offer each individual a range of experiences, enabling them to spend time with friends, learn new skills and enjoy new opportunities, whilst their families enjoy a much-needed break. Vitally, we provide invaluable continuity of support and care between teen and adult years.
Each young adult has a unique range of needs and wishes that we are ideally placed to support them with. We encourage them to learn new skills, build towards greater independence, make friends and have fun. By focusing on choice, and the individual needs of each young adult, they gain confidence and self-esteem and experience greater joy in their lives.
The Chiltern Centre provides a safe space to form friendships and do things that might never normally be accessible to them. They are able to feel part of a community, to feel the confidence that comes from doing things that are new, different and exciting. They are able to have independence from their family. They are able to socialise with people of similar ages and with whom they share interests. Through careful timetabling, we are able to ensure that young adults come to the Centre alongside others with whom they share a bond, an interest or a rapport so that they truly enjoy their time with us. They are able to learn new independence skills that will set them up for the next stage of their lives. They are able to share meals, enjoy a relaxed evening and do crafts together. They are able to get out and about and enjoy all that the local area has to offer.
First and foremost, it is COMPLETELY FREE TO ENTER YOUR CHALLENGE.
