OVERSEAS CHALLENGES
CHARITY AREA
RESOURCES & MATERIALS FOR CHARITIES
This Overseas Challenge Charity Area is your charity’s ‘go-to’ resource for everything needed to promote our challenges to your supporters. On the face of it, an overseas challenge is a simple concept – walk, cycle or climb your way to reach a goal. Under the surface, there is a lot of detail you need to get right in order to ensure your potential fundraisers have all of the info they need to decide if it’s the right challenge for them. From things like pricing and fundraising targets, to flight options, food and accommodation – you need to ensure that your own marketing materials reflect the challenge and point to the right information on our website. By using the resources provided, and following our Promotion Guidelines, you’ll give your charity the best chance of maximising the return from these events.
