323 Challenge

 The 323 Push-Up Challenge invites participating organisations to put forward at least five people—staff, clients, or friends—to complete 323 push-ups in one hour during Richard’s visit. This represents his own daily target as he attempts 10,000 push-ups in January for Raise’25. Each participant raises £50, which is match-funded to £100, meaning every rep directly contributes to a powerful fundraising total as we push towards our target by 31st January 2026. 

 Alongside the 323 Challenge, participants can take on the full 10,000 Push-Up Challenge: 323 push-ups every day for 31 days. This advanced option mirrors Richard’s own month-long commitment. It requires discipline, focus, and determination, and those who complete it will earn the exclusive 10,000 Club T-shirt, reserved only for those who finish all 10,000 reps. It’s a test of resilience, teamwork and mindset, offering a meaningful way to support the final leg of Raise’25. 

 Throughout January, Richard will visit 20 workplaces across Oxfordshire, hosting a 323 Challenge session at each. These visits happen on working days and offer participants a unique, energy-filled experience. Each organisation receives a group photo opportunity, on-site support, and visibility as one of the host locations for this high-profile fundraiser. With only 20 slots available—and high expected demand—organisations can guarantee a place by committing to a £500 donation, otherwise availability is first come, first served. 

 B4 Member Becky Hodgson and her team at Hall Training are partnering with us to ensure participants complete the challenge safely and with correct technique. Every participant receives guidance on warm-ups, pacing, form, breathing and recovery. Whether individuals are seasoned gym-goers or complete beginners, Hall Training’s professionals will help everyone perform to their ability and enjoy the challenge. Their involvement ensures confidence, safety, and maximum enjoyment across all 20 locations, supporting individuals through every stage of the challenge. 

 Because this is a physically demanding challenge, all participants must ensure they are medically fit before taking part. We strongly advise everyone—especially those with pre-existing conditions or concerns—to seek appropriate medical advice and confirm they are safe to participate. All involvement is at the participant’s own discretion, and organisations hosting the challenge should communicate this clearly. Safety is our priority, and participants should only take part if confident in their physical capability. 

 Every participant will receive a professional group photograph taken with Richard at their organisation’s session. Those who successfully complete the 323 push-ups in one hour will receive a special edition 323 Challenge T-shirt, presented on the day. Individuals who complete the full 10,000 Push-Up Challenge in January will receive the exclusive 10,000 Club T-shirt, recognising exceptional dedication and stamina. These t-shirts act as lasting keepsakes to mark an inspiring physical and fundraising achievement. 

  Hosting the 323 Challenge is a brilliant way to boost team morale, camaraderie and motivation, especially at the start of a new year. It strengthens workplace culture, encourages healthy activity, and creates a fun, memorable shared experience. It also offers positive visibility within the Oxfordshire business community as your organisation supports Raise’25 in its final push. With Hall Training providing expert support, even those with minimal fitness experience can get involved safely and successfully. 

   To become one of the 20 host locations or to put forward participants for either challenge, please contact the Raise’25 team by emailing richard@b4-business.com. Let us know which January date suits your organisation best, and we will allocate slots in the order received, unless a £500 guaranteed-host donation is made. If you’re ready to motivate your team, raise vital funds and be part of something special, we’d love to hear from you.
