What Challenge Team UK does

The
Teams touring the UK use interactive and fast moving techniques to give factual
information and personal stories which present the obvious benefit to health and
well-being of saving sex for marriage in an entertaining and relevant way. The
presenters in each team (usually two young men and two young women) have made
their own personal choice to save sex for marriage.
Young adult volunteers are recruited and trained and tour the country with the presentation. The volunteers have made the personal decision to save sex for marriage and they explain their reasons during the presentation. The presentation is living and dynamic, entertaining and relevant, largely due to the enthusiasm, conviction and sincerity of the presenters. They speak from their own experience and are not professional actors. They are able to identify with the teens they speak to as they are young people themselves. Living a lifestyle of respect for their own sexuality and the sexuality of all other people and saving sex for marriage is presented as realistic and achievable. The risks of being sexually active are clearly explained, but the positives and freedoms of saving sex are emphasised too. The presentation helps to redress the balance and gives an alternative message for teens to consider.
Since 2004, 36 British presenters have been trained by Challenge Team UK and have presented to 87 500 teenagers.
In Spring 2010 a team of four toured for 9 weeks, visiting 34 schools and 6 youth groups. They performed 57 presentations to over 6000 teenagers. Seven of the schools were first-time bookings. Feedback has been 100% positive and all of the schools who have fed back have requested a return visit.
During Autumn 2009 a team consisting of 4 young adults toured Manchester, the North East, Hereford, Somerset, Devon, Dorset and Cornwall over 10 weeks. They visited 32 schools and 2 youth groups, doing 47 presentations to over 5500 teenagers. 9 of the schools were new, and all of the of the schools who’s feedback has been received had requested return visits.
