Some of our challenges are operated exclusively in aid of one particular charity, but where you see the words “in aid of any charity”, you can raise funds for any cause that you feel passionate about, as long as they are a UK or Irish registered charity, and they authorise you to fundraise in their name.
We will help to get the authorisation for you to fundraise, so choose from one of the many charities on our database, or if you don’t find them listed, you can give us some contact details when you book and we’ll get in touch with them about becoming a charity partner.
Please type in the name (or part of the name) of the charity below in the ‘search term’ field below. If the name is a direct match, it will appear at the top of the results list. i.e. if you type Cancer, Cancer UK will appear towards the top of the results, British Cancer UK will appear lower down, and The UK Foundation of Lung Cancer Charities will appear even further down. So please try the exact match for the first few words to make it easier to find your charity. If you type a search term that is not in the name of the charity, but is in the description about the charity, it will appear after all of the above named results.

Action on Poverty are a small international charity with a big impact on tackling poverty. We work with local expert partners in Uganda, Sierra Leone, Tanzania and Kenya to provide people living in the harshest poverty with the opportunities they need to earn a living and transform their lives, and we can only do this with the help of supporters like you. Your fundraising efforts will help us work with people who struggle to overcome poverty the most: women, people with disabilities, young people and refugees. You’ll make it possible for us to stop dangerous child labour and return children to school; to train women in business skills and learn a trade, earning an independent income for the first time; to share climate-resilient agricultural skills with refugees, so they can grow vegetables to eat and sell despite climate shocks; and to provide everyone with the opportunity to break the cycle of poverty, for good.

Arthur Rank Hospice Charity supports people in Cambridgeshire living with an advanced serious illness or other life-limiting condition and those who need end-of-life care. Our ‘Outstanding’ services are provided free of charge to patients and their families. Our aim is to provide the highest quality care, helping them to make every moment count. We care for more than 4,100 patients each year at our Hospice in Cambridge, the Alan Hudson Day Treatment Centre in Wisbech and in patients’ own homes via the Arthur Rank Community Team. This care supports people to improve their quality of life and fulfil their end of life choices. Alongside the care provided by our Inpatient Unit, Living Well services and Hospice at Home teams, patients can access: patient and family support; lymphoedema care; complementary therapy; medical and pain outpatient clinics; and advice from the clinical nurse specialists within the Specialist Palliative Care Home Team. Our programmes are practical, holistic and tailored to the individual patient, family member or carer and may also include rehabilitative support, physiotherapy, occupational therapy and psychological support. It will cost £11.51 million in 2022/2023 to run our services, which are provided free of charge to patients and their loved ones. We have currently secured £7.07 million from the NHS, meaning that £4.44 million needs to be raised through donations, fundraising activities and trading. We are extremely grateful to our local community for the continual dedication, commitment and generosity they show in supporting us to meet this target.

Ataxia UK is the national charity for people affected by ataxia and we provide unique services and support, including a dedicated helpline, Branches and Support Groups, together with closed social media groups, events and conferences where people can meet and share information, a quarterly magazine and monthly e-newsletter, a website with lots of information and a discussion forum, publications, films, and reports.
