Scope's Big Golf Challenge FAQs

Why should I fundraise for Scope? 

add remove

Right now, disabled people face inequality in almost every part of life — from work and education to housing, transport and social care. 

By fundraising for Scope, you’re helping to create a fairer society where disabled people have the same opportunities as everyone else. Your support helps fund our practical advice services, campaigns for change, and work to challenge attitudes and break down barriers. 

Every pound you raise helps Scope be there for disabled people and their families — today and in the future.
