How much will it cost?

As Raleigh is a charity we talk about fundraising rather than costs. This doesn't mean you have to fundraise for all your expedition through donations. You can pay any way you like. Most venturers will raise the funds through a mixture of job earnings from gap year work or part-time jobs, donations from friends and family and traditional fundraising activities such as organising parties or sponsored events. We do encourage fundraising, not only because it raises awareness of our charitable work but we believe it gets you in the spirit of Raleigh. In many ways this is the beginning of your Raleigh adventure, so start as you mean to go on.

Here's a guide of fundraising targets:
Local 10 week expedition	RM3,000
Overseas 10 week expedition	£2,995
