Challenge Yourself and Build Better Futures
Take on a spectacular circular route along the iconic Jurassic Coast. The distance will be approximately 20 miles and is likely to take between 8 – 10 hours on average. Training is advisable, but with many years of experience we will be on hand to assist you with training plans, kits lists. We’ve got your back! After a day hiking, we will swap walking boots for dancing shoes to raise a glass or two with your team to celebrate the achievements of the day, swap stories with other companies in the housebuilding sector and enjoy a celebration dinner together.
Each team participating is requested to raise £2,000 and the funds raised make a huge difference to the lives of the vulnerable young people that we support. Don’t worry – we’ll be with you every step of the way to ensure you reach and smash your goals. Once you have registered your team, we will give you a call to chat about your fundraising plans and you’ll also be able to find lots of useful resources and advice on our website.
We are very grateful to our sponsors. With their support it means that all the fundraising raised by the teams go to help build better futures for vulnerable young people. If your company is interested in being associated with a meaningful and well loved industry event please contact Philippa
