IN DETAIL

SELF FUNDER OPTION

The full cost of this challenge is £370.00. You will be required to pay the non-refundable registration fee of £100.00 at the time of booking, and 9 weeks before departure (23/02/2024) you will be required to pay the final balance of your challenge costs (£270.00). You will be asked to raise as much as you can for The Mulberry Bush Charity.  As you have covered the full cost of the challenge, 100% of this fundraising will be retained by The Mulberry Bush Charity. Whilst there is no target, obviously the more you are able to achieve the greater the impact of your challenge.

MINIMUM SPONSORSHIP OPTION

You will be required to pay the non-refundable registration fee of £100.00 at the time of booking and raise a minimum amount of sponsorship, £550.00 for The Mulberry Bush Charity. You should send your sponsorship money to The Mulberry Bush Charity as you raise it. At least 80% of the minimum sponsorship required (£440.00) must be sent to The Mulberry Bush Charity 11 weeks before departure (by 09/02/2024).  This may seem a long time before the event, but it is when The Mulberry Bush needs to pay Charity Challenge for the event. We very much appreciate your help with this. If you have raised the necessary funds, The Mulberry Bush Charity will then pay the balance of your expedition costs (which will not exceed 49% of the minimum sponsorship target). The remaining 20% (£110.00) needs to be sent to The Mulberry Bush Charity within 4 weeks of completing the challenge (by 26/05/2024).
