Our UK challenge events team are taking this issue extremely seriously, so you can be assured that on all of our upcoming UK challenges we will have followed, and put in place, the most appropriate hygiene facilities.
• Advance information – We will be sharing widely available information about pre challenge preparations, good hand hygiene, keeping healthy and so on, and avoiding joining a challenge should anyone have any relevant symptoms.
• Enhanced cleaning processes for all our event venues - Surfaces can harbour the virus, so staff at all our event venues will be asked to ensure that they are cleaning more frequently and paying special attention to disinfecting high-touch areas like handrails, door handles, counter tops and food areas.
• Providing hand sanitizer – Charity Challenge will ensure that when you arrive at any of our UK challenge event venues that you will have the opportunity to wash your hands according to guidelines. All of our challenge leaders will also be carrying hand sanitizer on the challenge itself. We would encourage all participants to also bring their own hand sanitiser.
• Putting in place disposal bins for tissues – We will also make sure that all of our challenge event venues have appropriate disposal points for tissues.
• Minimising the number of people kept in close proximity – We will be assessing all of our event venues and coordinating the best way to make sure that we provide suitable space for people at points when the whole group needs to be brought together (I.e.: registration and event safety briefings). This may require, on some of our larger events, to stagger registration and start times so that we don’t create unnecessary overcrowding. We would ask all participants to be understanding of this decision and to cooperate fully.
•Encourage anyone who displays coronavirus symptoms after the event to contact Charity Challenge immediately – We will ask all participants on UK challenge events to contact us immediately should they attend one of our challenges and, within the next 10 days, you display coronavirus symptoms.
