How does an Action for Charity UK challenge work?

Action for Charity is managing this challenge event on behalf of the charity that will benefit from the funds raised. From start to finish we are there to support you along the way from registering to taking part, providing you with all the event information and advice you will need.

To take part in one of our UK challenges your team needs to pay a registration fee of £195 (per team) to Action for Charity which is non-refundable. You must also pledge to raise minimum sponsorship funds for the charity, a proportion of which must be paid in at least four weeks before the date of the event. All the funds you raise should be sent to Action for Charity and we will bank them in the charity bank account. We will then send you a statement of the funds your team has raised (including any online fundraising donations, credit card payments etc.)

Once Action for Charity has received the first instalment of your sponsorship funds four weeks before the event your team’s place will be confirmed. All the funds raised by the challenge after deduction of costs will directly support the work of the charity concerned. Your team is therefore encouraged to exceed the minimum fundraising by as much as you possibly can to ensure as high a percentage of the funds raised as possible goes to charity.

For all Action for Charity UK challenge events you must agree to be bound by the Terms & Conditions and obey the rules for the event which will include having essential clothing and equipment in order to take part.

Your personal challenge as a team member is to train and get fit enough to take part; to raise at least the minimum sponsorship funds and/or donations required and to accomplish the challenge on the day. The Action for Charity team will support you every step of the way.
