WHAT NEXT?

As a challenge leader, you’ll be central to the success of the event. With our help, you’ll make a recruitment plan specific to your campus and we’ll provide you with all the materials to help you recruit a team of fellow students. Once your team are on board, you will work alongside the Student Fundraising Officers at your chosen charity to provide one-to-one and group support to help get everyone to their fundraising targets and our team will provide you with all the support for the trip itself, including travel advice, training, pre-departure briefings, and more.

Remember, the challenge isn’t just about making it to the summit of the 3 Peaks, or the finish line at the Budapest Marathon – it’s about raising crucial funds for incredible charities. You will be responsible for helping your team meet fundraising targets. There’s no better feeling than knowing what that money can do, and the fact you raised it.
