Can you conquer 10 tower blocks in one day?
Sound easy? That’s 200 floors and 4000 stairs.
Stacked on top of each other, the 10 towers we’re talking about would be taller than the Empire State Building!
The 10 Towers Challenge is an exciting community fundraiser taking place on Saturday 28 September 2024. The challenge will push participants to climb the stairs of 10 towers in our corner of east London, (in Poplar and Bow), in one day.*
RegisterWe’re inviting everyone in our community who’s 18 and over to join our fundraiser for two great charities – Asthma + Lung UK and The Aberfeldy Project.
The 10 Towers Challenge is brought to you in partnership with Aico, our 10 Towers Challenge sponsor.
Participants must climb up and down the stairs of each tower block on Saturday 28 September to complete the challenge. And there’s no cheating, (by using the lifts), allowed!
*Participants can choose whether to complete 10, five or one tower when they register.
Anyone over 18 can take part.
Maybe you’d prefer to donate instead of taking part? Donations of every size will be greatly appreciated.
If you choose to take on all 10 Towers, join us at 9am on Saturday 28 September, for tea and biscuits before the challenge starts. Come to Spotlight Youth Centre, next to Langdon Park DLR, 30 Hay Currie Street, Poplar E14 6GN.
It’s all taking place in Poplar and Bow.

Although our Just Giving page allows us to fundraise towards one charity, the Ten Towers Challenge will benefit two brilliant charities. Asthma + Lung UK and The Aberfeldy Project and have been chosen because of their work to support health and wellbeing and tackle issues pertinent to our community.
Asthma + Lung UK’s vision is for a world where everyone has healthy lungs. From research and campaigning to advice and support, as the UK’s lung charity they’re on a mission to change the way that lung health is perceived. Because breath is life – and that’s worth fighting for.
The Aberfeldy Project CIC, originally formed as the Aberfeldy FC, was borne by a group of local guys with a love for football and a desire to bring young people in the community together. Since then, the founders have ventured into a broader range of community work which aims to break down barriers and improve the wellbeing of local people of every age.
This includes an array of sport, recreation, and wellbeing provisions such as an Adults Special Educational Needs (SEN) Hub, a Girls & Woman’s only Hub, community or family fun days, holiday camps for 5–16-year-olds, day trips and youth clubs.
