Sponsorship and Fundraising

To take part in this challenge, you will need to pay a registration fee of £250 and commit to raising a minimum of £3000 in sponsorship. £2050 of this will pay for your trip costs, with the remaining sponsorship helping to change the lives of children and adults with disabilities.

What does my sponsorship target include?

This amount covers all of your travel costs and include your return flight from London, all taxes, accommodation, most meals and refreshments, expedition leader and local guide. When you register on the Challenge, you will be sent a breakdown of sponsorship instalment dates.

What else should I budget for?

You must have full travel insurance (this can be provided by Voyage Concepts Ltd and details will be provided upon registration). Extra money is needed for lunch and dinner on day 7, drinks, souvenirs and additional activities, such as snowmobiling. Transport to and from the departure airport in the UK is not included.

Fundraising – Where do I start?

Although the amount may seem a little daunting, it is very easy to break down and soon becomes much more achievable. As a small charity, we are proud of all the help and support we give to participants during their fundraising. Most people are surprised by the generosity of others, and don’t just achieve their target, they raise much more!

“We thoroughly enjoyed the fundraising, which included car washing, a raffle, an auction, cake sales and much more. It was tiring but very rewarding!”

Alexandra Press, Cadbury Trebor Bassett

“I couldn’t believe how generous everyone was – I raised £5000 in a matter of weeks. My local pub even asked everyone for an extra £1 when ordering a round – and the money came rolling in!”

Ian Rawlings, West Midlands Fire Service
