Get Involved Events The Big Keepy Uppy Challenge begins during 2026 World Cup Football fans, colleagues, schools and youth teams are invited to bring the World Cup energy this summer by taking on 3,000 keepy uppies for Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance. The Challenge The Big Keepy Uppy Challenge takes places between 11 June to 19 July 2026 and we’re asking supporters to get involved, show off their skills and raise money to help keep our helicopter flying. DSAA is tasked around 3,000 times each year, so the challenge is simple: aim for a keepy uppy for every call-out and see how many you can clock up! Take part in a way that suits you: go solo, challenge friends or colleagues, get your school involved, or team up with your sports club. Complete all 3,000 as quick as you can or spread them out across the challenge period. Get involved The challenge is free to enter, but fundraising is encouraged to help fund life-saving care across Dorset and Somerset. Everyone who takes part will be entered into a prize draw to win a signed AFC Bournemouth football Raise £35 and receive an exclusive DSAA mini football as a thank you We’d love to see your skills! Share your attempts, successes and even the fails by tagging us on our social channels- @dsairambulance. Hear from #TeamDSAA Rosie Cornelius-Light, Fundraising Officer, said: “We’re really excited to launch The Big Keepy Uppy Challenge this summer and see people across Dorset and Somerset get involved. Whether you manage 30, 300 or all 3,000, every keepy uppy helps support life-saving care. As a guide, 3,000 works out at around 80 a day, but there are no strict rules. It’s all about getting involved, having fun and giving it a go.” Sign up now Ready to join The Big Keepy Uppy Challenge?
