Meeting and support clients, hearing their stories and being part of their journey.

Just being apart of a very special team of leaders and being able to support people that do not think they are going to make it to the summit/end. I love to encourage and motivate people to achieve their goals.

INTRODUCING OUR PARTNER – ENTHUSE

January 17, 2024

At Charity Challenge, we are extremely proud of the relationships we have built with our partners over the years. We understand how nerve racking it can be to take on a challenge for the first time, that is why we are working closely with a range of reputable suppliers to help provide support to all of our charity and corporate partners and participants on their challenge journey. We felt it is time to shine a spotlight on each of our partners so you can get to know them better!

Partner name

Enthuse

Tell us about your business

Enthuse is Europe’s number one charity first fundraising platform and the official online fundraising partner for London Marathon Events and Great Run. We offer digital donations, fundraising and event reg technology, all under the charity’s brand, so it feels like supporters never left their website. Our platform helps organisations strengthen supporter relationships and gain financial predictability through a personalised and consistent experience.

When it comes to events, a key challenge is making it as easy as possible for participants to fundraise. That’s why fundraising is integrated with event registration for 100% page creation and participants can access and manage their fundraising from the participant’s account area on the Charity Challenge website. This means the fundraising experience is truly synonymous with the challenge itself.

We know that branded fundraising pages raise more when it comes to events. That’s why company and profile pages can be branded with the corporate and charity logos, tying the cause closely with the brand identity of its corporate partner. What’s more, profiles come equipped with totalisers and leaderboards, making it easy and convenient to see how much has been raised.

For companies who want to reward brilliant fundraising, Enthuse provides the tools to enable matched giving. This is perfect for businesses who are looking to support their teams and double the fundraising total. This can be done directly through the fundraising page and a matched giving report will be provided.

Why did you choose to partner with Charity Challenge?

At Enthuse, we specialise in digital fundraising, donations and event reg technology. We provide 80% of the UK’s most loved charities with the tools they need to maximise their digital fundraising efforts.

Our team does a great job supporting good causes with interesting fundraising ideas but when a charity wants to take on a big challenge, sometimes they need something that goes that step further.

Whether it’s a trip to Machu Picchu, travelling across the Sahara or taking part in the Yorkshire Three Peak Challenge, Charity Challenge offers truly unique experiences for good causes, to help inspire fundraising from their supporters.

By partnering together, we’re able to ensure that our charities not only have a fit-for-purpose fundraising platform, but an enticing challenge that helps to encourage participation.

NEW YEAR, NEW CHALLENGE, NEW YOU. WHAT WILL YOU ACHIEVE IN 2024?

January 1, 2024
Charity Challenge participants  celebrating

It’s a familiar tale – after the excitement and indulgence of Christmas, the cold, dark nights of January can seem a little daunting. Far removed from the sparkle of December’s parties, pubs and Christmas lights, January bares low motivation, low mood and no energy.

Setting new years’ resolutions can tackle this moody month, and transform it into a positive, fresh start. Keeping driven, focused and passionate about a resolution propels us into the Spring and Summer, equipped for a great year. 51% of the British public successfully implement their resolutions into long-term habits, so it’s clear the psychology works! *

Statistics have uncovered 2024’s most popular resolutions: to exercise more, to lose weight, and adopt a healthier diet. The desire to feel good, do better and physically test ourselves is as timeless and prominent as ever. *

Stepping on to a Charity Challenge can push you physically, of course – with a training schedule keeping you exploring and outdoors, a diet full of protein and carbs to keep you powerful and the inevitable ‘shaping-up’ that accompanies that.

However, the strength of alleviating mental pressures is often overlooked. Taking the time to feel proud of your achievements, knowing that you’re working towards a goal that will benefit a charity, and spending plenty of time outdoors is infinitely rewarding to your mental health. Nothing says: “January blues, who?!” like a month of powerful positivity.

So, how about a new years’ resolution to take on a Charity Challenge?

Conquer the January blues with a goal and a plan:

  • Choose a challenge activity type (trek, bike etc) that works for you and your lifestyle. If your exercise is expensive, time consuming or boring, it’s likely you won’t be able to commit to it in the long term.
  • Small adjustments to your daily routine are a great way to get started in your fitness journey: taking a walk on your lunch break, stretching before work, or parking far away from the supermarket doors!
  • Implement time outdoors. Fresh air and vitamin D are vital in boosting your mood and helping maintain focus throughout the day.
  • Small targets and milestones can make even the mundane feel like something worth celebrating – make sure your training journey is as fun as can be!
  • Choose a charity that is special to you. Keep the charity as your focus throughout this journey, and let the inspiration propel you forward on your harder days. Your efforts can make a real difference, whether large or small, and doing so will leave you with a strong sense of achievement and fulfilment.

Here’s to making a difference in 2024!
