Registration details

You have three fundraising place options – either charity sponsorship or mixed funding places and commit to a fundraising target for Youth Adventure Trust, or, purchase your own charity place and we’ll support you to raise as much as you can without being committed to a set target.

You can also purchase your own non-charity “Do It For Yourself” place directly from the Ultra Challenge website.

Option 1: Full Sponsorship For Charity

Pay a small registration fee & fundraise for the Youth Adventure Trust (we pay for your place)

Option 2: Mixed Funding For Charity

Pay half of the event place cost yourself, fundraise a bit less and we pay the balance.

Option 3: Own Place Charity Fundraising

Pay for your place in full and fundraise whatever you can; we pay a small admin fee.

 

Three easy steps

Follow these three steps to join TeamYAT and inspire young lives!

1. Tell us you want to take on an Ultra Challenge

2. Find out more and book your charity sponsored, mixed funding or own place with Action Challenge

3. Set up your fundraising page

Every day, our Programme Managers are working with vulnerable young people to build resilience, develop confidence and learn skills they can use to face the challenge in their lives. Each place on the Youth Adventure Programme costs £1,300 a year, so every penny you raise will really empower young people to lead positive lives and fulfil their potential.

We’ll support you

Once you sign up to join TeamYAT, we’ll be here to support you throughout all the training for your challenge, and after the big day, to help you reach your personal and fundraising goals. 

You’ll receive:

Fundraising advice from a team who knows what it’s like to step out of your comfort zone
A fundraising pack filled with top tips and ideas
Regular updates on how your fundraising makes a difference

Get in touch

Thank you on for your interest in an Ultra Challenge! Please get in touch with Natalie on natalie.levin@youthadventuretrust.org.uk if you have any questions or to find out more about joining #TeamYAT.
