The Travel United Cup #KeepyUppy Challenge

Welcome to The Travel United Cup - #KeepyUppy Challenge!

Win Hospitality Tickets to a Premier League Game of your Choice!

The Challenge

The #KeepyUppy Challenge, sometimes referred to as ‘Keep Up’ or ‘Kick Up’ Challenge, is the act of keeping a ball off the ground by juggling it using your feet, lower legs, knees, chest, shoulders, and head, without allowing the ball to hit the ground.

For every touch of the ball you make, you score a point.

The Challenge is to score the highest points total as you can from each attempt in 60 seconds. If the ball hits the ground your score resets and you must start over. You do not add points together. Each attempt serves as one go.

The Cause

By taking part in the #KeepyUppy Challenge you are promoting awareness of the ways football can be used to tackle major social issues and encouraging donations to support the work of the Street Soccer Foundation and Just A Drop.

Formed in 2015, The Street Soccer Foundation is a sport-for-change charity which uses football as a catalyst to improve the lives of vulnerable and homeless young people across the country. Its nationally acclaimed flagship programme, the Street Soccer Academy, is the no.1 football-led project tackling youth homelessness in England. Click here to learn more about our work.

Just a Drop is an international development organisation born out of World Travel Market. We work to help the travel industry give back by bringing sustainable safe water, sanitation and hygiene projects to communities around the world; transforming lives. Since 1998, we have supported over 1.9 million people! Click here to learn more about out work.

The Rules

All entrants are encouraged to film themselves and upload their effort to their social media channels, and to then identify, nominate and tag a minimum of three others to do the same – calling them out by "tagging" them.

After being nominated participants have to record a video of themselves in continuous footage. First, they are to announce their acceptance of the Challenge, followed by starting to juggle a ball. Once the participant has called out their total and best score within 1 minute, the participant can then nominate a minimum of three other people to participate in the Challenge.

All participants are expected to donate £5 per entry – or donate £10 if they did not attempt the Challenge after being nominated!

How to enter

Donations

For every entry made, we ask for a donation of £5.

Deadline

Closing date for entries is 31st July 2023 and winners will be contacted by the 7^th August 2023.

The Top Scorer:

The person who records the highest score evidenced by their video entry will win Four Hospitality tickets to a Premier League game of their nominated club during 2023/24 season.

Good luck and thanks for your support!

Please email Ruth Mileham, [email protected] if you have any questions.

Myths About Mensturation

When half the world’s population spends at least 10 years of their life menstruating, and on any given day there are 300 million people menstruating worldwide. It is then overwhelming to also know that for at least 500 million women and girls[1] it is a major challenge to maintain their menstrual hygiene in a private, safe, and dignified manner.
What happens when you break the silence on periods?

What happens when you break the silence on periods? Candid conversations with Women of the Kamba people in Kenya on the impact of including menstrual hygiene as part of WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene) programmes.
What Do We Mean By ‘Menstrual Hygiene Management’?

In the lead up to Menstrual Hygiene Day (28th May), Just a Drop will be sharing impacts, stories, and information about Menstrual Hygiene around the world and in our projects. At Just a Drop we focus on removing barriers for women and girls via Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM), sometimes referred to as Menstrual Health & Hygiene (MHH). But what do we mean by Menstrual Hygiene Management?
But Why Can't People Just Move Closer to Water?

Just a Drop launched our the longest Twitter thread ever for World Water Day - following in the footsteps on Ann a 32-year-old Kenyan mother who is forced to walk 9km every day to collect water. But we were surprised to see that there seemed to be one common question: “But why don’t people move closer to the water?”

What We Do

We work at a grassroots level to support communities around the world with access to sustainable safe water solution, sanitation facilities and knowledge of safe hygiene practices: such as through the construction of wells, pipelines, sand dams, rainwater harvesting systems and latrines, and hygiene and sanitation programmes.

Why Water?

With clean water, communities can begin to lift themselves out of poverty and build brighter futures. Drinking dirty water can make people sick. That’s just part of the picture. A lack of clean water and sanitation holds back development and makes it harder for communities to escape the poverty trap.
Our Approach

We believe everyone, everywhere, should have access to clean water as a basic right. We want to see a world where everyone has clean water and adequate sanitation, and the increased health and prosperity this brings. Our approach is to support marginalised people across the world through community-led development, rather than aid; and to focus on sustainability and quality, ensuring a project's transformative impact is felt for decades to come.

Baltimore Aircoil Company

Just a Drop partnered with Baltimore Aircoil Company on World Water Day, 22 March 2018, to bring safe water and sanitation to communities worldwide. Since then, our partnership has reached thousands of people and in the coming year, BAC will support a further two projects in the Tempisque and La Jícara villages of Nicaragua, bringing water, sanitation, and hygiene to 251 people.
Radisson Hotel Group

Radisson Hotel Group has partnered with Just a Drop to help give children around the world access to safe drinking water through the towel re-use programme. Guests are asked to reuse their towels and forego housekeeping. For every towel reused, Radisson Hotel Group make a donation to Just a Drop. Over 24,000 people across Just a Drop projects in Kenya, Nicaragua, Peru and India now have access to safe water thanks to this initiative.
