How much will it cost?

Posted by Poh-E in

As Raleigh is a charity we talk about fundraising rather than costs. This doesn't mean you have to fundraise for your expedition. You can pay any way you like. Some of our venturers save up, or receive donations from friends and family, others write to local businesses, or get involved with fundraising activities such as organising parties or sponsored events. We do encourage fundraising, not only because it raises awareness of Raleigh 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.
Many of our venturers return as volunteer managers and equally many volunteer managers are looking to take up the challenge again. 
Here's a guide of fundraising targets:
Local 10 week expeditionRM1,500
Overseas 10 week expedition£1,950

Check out our fundraising page for advice on how to reach your fundraising target.
