Who are we?

About About Us

Our goal is to help charities and their supporters maximise their fundraising capability, by providing cost effective, specialist tools and services. We're fans of using genuine challenges to achieve this - activities and events that really excite and inspire people to fundraise.

Choose a Challenge wants to give the charity experience sector in the UK a kick start. We want to unite challenge providers, fundraisers, online fundraising systems, charities, companies, universities and event managers under a standards compliant, established and reliable online platform.

Things we think are challenging

The mundane challenges of daily life can often get a little tiresome, but we believe we've hit on a collection that will force the boldest thrill-seekers to use their courage, quick wits and spare underwear. Check out our charity challenges page to find out more about our current range of activities in your area, or make an online booking.

How else do we help?

Whilst we love providing challenges to the general population, our range of services will appeal to all manner of charities, non-profits, corporates, universities and existing charity events. To find out more, head to our services listing for all the information you'll ever need.

Our Experience

We may be the new kids on the block, but we're specialists. If we don't know every inch of a challenge, you won't find it here. Our team members are experts in their challenge fields, and we work closely with our challenge providers to understand their businesses, meaning we can offer multi-faceted guidance to both charities and their supporters.

To date, we've established our presence as the leading challenge provider to the UK university sector, and honed our skills and methods. What's more, we have plenty of plans for pushing the envelope further - new challenges, technology and services to make our jobs, and your fundraising, simpler and more effective than ever.

If you ever want to find out more, or just want pop into our London base for a coffee, then we'd love to hear from you.
