CARE Construction Challenge

construction_supporters.jpgThis event has now taken place. Register your interest in the 2011 event here ,  and we will email you when the details have been confirmed.

Building on the success of our 2009 CARE Construction Challenge, we will be hosting another event exclusively for the Construction Industry, but this time the event will take place in Wales. construction_challenge.gif

Whether you are involved with the design, build, operation or refurbishment of the built environment, or supply to the industry, this is the event for you. You will complete this 1 day multi-activity challenge as part of a team of 4 people where individually you will cover a marathon distance on foot, bike and water. This adrenaline-fuelled adventure involves a raft build and a few mystery challenges along the way!

event_table_construction1.jpgTest your physical and mental ability, as well as your practical skills, whilst also raising valuable funds for some of the most important and pioneering Emergency Shelter & Reconstruction projects in the world. For example, your £3000 could fund the deployment and assessment carried out by one of CARE’s Emergency Shelter Advisers used in emergencies like the recent earthquakes in Haiti. Or the funds that you raise could support some of CARE’s other projects including erecting temporary shelter for families whose homes and lives have been devastated by war or training communities in improved construction techniques.

We will ensure that you are supported at every stage of your training and fundraising prior to the event, as well as on the day with experienced staff on hand to help.

To support you, we have secured two nights’ accommodation at Glamorgan University (individual rooms) including breakfasts and packed lunches for £80 per person so taking part couldn’t be easier. The event will commence on the Friday evening at Glamorgan University with registration and pre-event drinks.

We are aware that the World Cup will be taking place around this time and provisions will be made to ensure that you don’t miss any key matches!

Challenge Yourself. Challenge Poverty.

CARE challenge are an in-house charity fundraising team. We offer many exciting charity events that you can join. All our charity challenges offer amazing adventures outdoors and lots of our activities take place over adventure weekends. If charity runs are your thing, then we have lots to offer - 10K runs, half marathons and many other running events. Or, how about cycling events for charity? We certainly have lots to offer in the charity cycling department. There are charity rides where you can cycle London to Brighton or you can even do a charity bike ride from London to Paris, if London to Brighton isn't far enough! We also have some charity walks and hikes. Later this year we have a sponsored walk that is 25 miles long in order to celebrate the 25th anniversary of CARE International's UK office. If activities outdoors and adventure weekends get your adrenalin pumping, then why not sign up for one of our mountain challenges? We have numerous charity challenges on mountains over the year from three peaks challenges to 24 peaks challenges - if you think you're up to it! For many of our charity fundraising events you can register as a teamleader or part of a team. We believe our charity challenges offer great teambuilding activities and are really great for team events. So if you're interested in corporate team building through a great charity challenge then the CARE Challenge Series is for you. Click here to see all our charity challenges.
