Will I need any equipment?
A
full kit list will be sent out once teams/individuals have registered. Sleeping
bags, rucksacks and camping mats are required. All safety equipment including
helmets, harnesses and wet suits are provided.
I have to drop out of the challenge/I have
not fund-raised the pledged amount.
If
you have to drop out or have not raised the pledged amount before the day of
the event you will be require to complete a payment that covers the expenses
the charity has paid for your spot.
Why do I have to pledge to fund-raise?
One
place costs us approximately £130 per participant, making the rest of the
pledge pure donations for our local charity. The money you fund-raise will not
only help us in our mission to improve life after brain injury, but it can also
help you get better quality food, sleep or other perks during your challenge.
The highest fundraiser or group will benefit of these perks, so it’s in your
own interest to increase your fundraising efforts!
Can I not pay the entire cost of the
ticket?
Unfortunately
running charitable activities means that we need further funding to ensure the
people affected by brain injury receive the services we provide. Your
fundraising is what will help us achieve our charitable goals and we cannot
accept just the full cost of the ticket.
What happens if I do not
fund-raise the pledged amount?
You
will be given fundraising support from our Headway all the way through, to
ensure that doesn’t happen. If for some reason the target is not achieved, we
will be in touch with you. We reserve the right to offer your space to another
participant.
How will I pay?
Your
initial payment of £30 will be via bank transfer or via cheque. The details can
be found on the Registration form.
