Tens of thousands of participants. Thousands of charities supported. Millions of lives impacted.
We’re incredibly proud to announce that the Charity Challenge community has officially helped raise over £100 million for charities worldwide since our launch in 1999.
Over more than 25 years, tens of thousands of people have taken on adventures across the globe, pushing themselves and facing their fears to fundraise for causes close to their hearts. This is a major milestone for everyone involved, and one that every single person who has ever been part of the Charity Challenge community can feel proud of.
The Stories Behind the Figure
Founder and Managing Director Simon Albert described the achievement as “unbelievable”, adding:
“When I started Charity Challenge more than 25 years ago, the idea was simple: give ordinary people the opportunity to take on extraordinary adventures while raising money for causes close to their hearts. That purpose has never changed, and I’m incredibly proud of everyone who has played a part in reaching this amazing milestone”.
“£100 million is a remarkable number, but behind it are thousands of individual stories of people who have challenged themselves, overcome fears, seen incredible parts of the world and, most importantly, made a difference to causes they care about”.
From trekking across deserts and climbing mountains to cycling through remote landscapes and tackling demanding UK adventures, every participant has played a part in getting us here.
The money raised has supported thousands of charities and causes, helping to fund vital work across areas including health, homelessness, children’s welfare and environmental protection.
