Forthcoming Events

Yogathon - October 2010

 How many Sun Salutations can you do in an hour?

The Action on Addiction Yogathon challenges people to do sponsored sun salutations and raise vital funds for our research, treatment and training programmes. Throughout October yoga teachers and centres are hosting Yogathons, including Triyoga Primrose Hill London, Katy Appleton and Apple Yoga, Yoga Haven Brighton and Yoga Sara Bristol.

A Yogathon works really well as a challenge event for Action on Addiction because of the links between yoga and recovery. Yoga has been shown to benefit individuals in recovery, because it creates a feeling of being in control of mind and body.

Treks and Experiences

Fancy a challenge that will take you on a journey that you'll never forget? Check out our NEW challenge events programme. We have something for everyone. Choose from the Mount Kilimanjaro challenge which will be physically tough but will also allow you the chance to give something back. Or maybe you are more suited to our Inca Trail challenge which gives you the opportunity to see some of the most spectacular sights in the world on the 26 mile trek. What could be better than arriving at Machu Picchu at sunrise, after sampling local life through helping a small community? Finally, does saving the orang-utans of the beautiful Borneo appeal to you? Trek through the sumptuous forests of this tropical island, followed by the chance to help and assist the keepers at an orang-utan conservation project.
