facts
Event Matters has experience in implementing charity challenges for schools, universities, corporate HR departments and individuals.
Always keen to maintain their hands on experience, during 2007 Event Matters management enthusiastically participated in a charity challenge, riding the rugged Cochamo Trail over the Andes from Argentina to Chile in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust.
Challenges
Event Matters specialises in coordinating challenges on behalf of the many charities with which we are associated. Challenges can be a sponsored sporting event but can also cover other forms of team building and personal achievement which are usually designed to address vital third world issues.
A challenge is an exciting way of raising funds for a charity and inspires participants to meet a pre-set fund raising target and often involves adventures across the world.
Event Matters can manage the planning and delivery of any charity challenge by initially addressing the right target market and then developing the programme in collaboration. The following is a sample of the kind of activity we can arrange for groups of 10 to 20 for the charity of your choice.
