how to join & fundraising

You can take on one of our Challenge and fund it youreslf - or support a charity of your choice.

For many who take on one of our events, the challenge is more than just physical and mental - it's also about helping others and fundraising for a charity that's close to their heart. Fundraising can appear daunting, however the end result is just as rewarding as the challenge itself!

Getting off to an early start, breaking down the total fundraising into smaller targets, and letting people really know about your challenge and the cause that you're supporting is important. Anyone can not just reach, but exceed, their fundraisng goal!

On an Action Challenge event you'll be supported all the way - and that includes with your fundraising. Once you have signed up to the challenge your chosen charity will be in touch within a week or so with a welcome pack, fundraising advice as well as regular updates, support and a point of contact.

For companies, schools and private groups - we can make all the arrangements for a bespoke event and agree the fundraising details with a charity that you may wish to support. It transforms an event into a fantastic engaging and motivational challenge!

JOINING OPTIONS...

We have 3 ways for you to sign up to most of our Challenges - and to support your chosen charity if you wish to. An 'Open Challenge' is one of our events where you can fundraise for ANY charity.

Self - Funded:

Sign up to a challenge by paying an initial deposit, and the balance before the event start date - just like paying for a holiday! In addition, if you want to you can fundraise whatever you can for a charity of your choice with no targets or deadlines. All fundraising goes directly to the charity, and Action Challenge is not involved in that arrangement.

Sponsorship - Funded:

You pay an initial deposit to secure your place and commit to fundraise a minimum target for a charity of your choice. A sum (between 50-80% - depending on the event) of that target is due to your charity before the start of the event, and from that sum your charity will pay Action Challenge the remaining cost of your place on the challenge. The balance of the fundraising is due no later than 4 weeks after the event. 

Mixed - Funded:

This option is a mixture of the two above options; you pay an initial deposit to secure your place, then a further proportion of the event cost before departure, whilst also fundraising a minimum set target for the charity of your choice. 

CHOOSING YOUR CHARITY...

Action Challenge work with 400+ charities, Some of our challenges are bespoke events for a single charity, others are supported by our key charity partners, whilst all of our 'open' and mass participation challenges are open for anyone to take part in for ANY charity of their choice.
