"On the first day you meet strangers - 11 days later you say good bye to close friends""

Ivan Jones, Thailand Jungle Expedition,

There is no doubt that the challenge was wonderfully positive. Every rafter that was nailed into place, and every batch of concrete mixed was helping to rebuild someone's life.""

Charity Challenge is the UK's leading adventure travel company specialising exclusively in the organisation, leadership and administration of inspirational fundraising expeditions. We operate more than 120 challenges each year for around 3,000 participants, and have so far helped to raise somewhere in the region of £15million for over 950 charities.

Our expeditions include treks, mountain bike rides, mountain climbs, white water rafting, sailing, horse riding & communitychallenges. They take place in Africa, the Caribbean, Asia, Europe, the Americas and the Middle East. They cover three different difficulty levels, ensuring there really is something for everyone.

Working very closely with many of the countries leading charities, Charity Challenge carries out all of the expedition administration meaning that even the smallest of charities can benefit from a dynamic and hugely popular fundraising tool.

At Charity Challenge we place great importance on responsible tourism. Our commitment extends to helping the local communities you will visit. We employ local guides, porters and other essential support staff and always try and use locally owned accommodation. We ensure that the experiences are positive for the local people & their community by making a donation from the profits of each expedition to a local community project within the country that the expedition takes place.

We are renowned for our professional conduct and concern for participants' safety at every step of the adventure. We offer comprehensive advice during the booking process and provide a full support package including notes on fitness training, travel tips, vaccinations needed, visa information, high altitude info, responsible travel guidance and fundraising ideas.

We hope that our website will inspire you and that in the not too distant future you will reflect on having completed a momentous challenge, and have the satisfaction of having raised thousands of pounds for a very worthwhile cause.

Charity Challenge and communitychallenge are the trading names of Challenges (Un)Limited.
