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.

Every 2 minutes a woman dies in pregnancy, childbirth or shortly after. The problems are preventable. The diseases are treatable. Our vision is a world where all women, children and young people can survive and thrive. We do this by bringing communities together in life-saving health groups. Women and Children First works around the world, implementing community health groups in some of the most rural, remote areas. These groups can halve maternal mortality and reduce newborn mortality by a third. We set up health groups with our in-country partners, which are led by the communities themselves. Groups follow a highly-effective methodology and address issues relating to pregnancy and childbirth, family planning services, or sexual and reproductive health. The groups give women and communities control over their own health. They are cost-effective, and sustainable.
