We appreciate that your main motivation for choosing the COINS 3 Peaks Challenge as your company’s team building activity is probably the walking event itself rather than the fundraising aspect of the challenge.  However, if you have never taken part in a fundraising activity before - it’s fun and very rewarding!  With regards to the COINS 3 Peaks Challenge, the fundraising aspect of this team building activity is a great opportunity to get everyone in your company on board and not just those who are participating directly in the walking event.

It’s fair to say that people often don’t know where to begin when it comes to fundraising but here at the COINS 3 Peaks Challenge, we know it’s not quite as tough as you might imagine.  The current total needed to enter this team building event stands at £5,000 per team.  Including the drivers, that’s less than £1000 per person.

So how do you reach your fundraising target?

The most important aspect of any fundraising campaign is making your target sponsors aware of what you’re raising funds for, in this case the COINS Foundation and the projects it supports.  This can be achieved in a number of ways from company newsletters and emails to letters for corporate sponsorship.  The COINS 3 Peaks Challenge team can provide you with a wealth of information and help on how to get started including running a fundraising workshop for participating teams.  All this information on fundraising can be found in the team area of the website where you will find nuggets of wisdom on how to run fundraising events, a suggested letter layout to attract corporate donors and an example of a fundraising plan to keep you on track.
