Rock Challenge was introduced to the UK back in 1996. Its goal is to promote healthy pro-active lifestyles among young people. While also to try and keep them away from drugs and alcohol.
As the standard of productions have improved year on year a ‘Northern Premier’ and ‘Southern Premier’ Division have also been developed.
