Planning & Info

Challenge events include but are not limited to

  • Long distance walks - Hadrian's Wall, Coast to Coast, canal path, Thames path etc. 
  • Triathlons/endurance challenges
  • Skydiving
  • Basejumping
  • 3 or 24 peak challenges
  • Overseas treks - climb Kilimanjaro, Cross the Sahara, base camp Peru

How are the costs of the event covered? 

This will depend on the company you sign up with for your event. At Pancreatic Cancer UK we have partnered with Skyline because they provide excellent support to fundraisers with reaching targets as well as for training and preparing for their challenge. 

Skyline sets a minimum sponsorship goal with a deposit which equates to a 50% split to cover the costs of the event and send a donation to the charity. Anything over and above the minimum sponsorship level will be added to the donation sent to Pancreatic Cancer UK. 

What support does Pancreatic Cancer UK offer challenge event participants? 

The support we offer for challenge events can depend on what the event is, but the most basic support we offer will be

  • sponsorship forms for offline donation collection
  • Tips on how to create and promote and online fundraising page
  • A t-shirt to wear for anyone raising a minimum of £100

We also recommend that anyone doing a challenge event consider hosting multiple community events to help them reach or even exceed the minimum sponsorship level. 

We can also help with:

  • fundraiser support pack
  • merchandise on sale or return
  • sponsor forms for offline donations
  • Tweeter and Facebook coverage for online promotions
  • training guides
  • poster templates
  • t-shirts
  • balloons
  • collection buckets/tins
  • information and support to help with community events
