Why is there a £250 minimum fundraising pledge?
As for any charity, organising these events costs money. The £25 registration fee doesn’t cover all the costs of putting on a supported hiking event of this scale, so we have to set a minimum fundraising pledge.
This ensures the costs of the event are covered so the money fundraised is spent on our vital services to support members of the UK construction industry.
