From fundraising ideas and templated communications to personal support and cheerleading\, we’ll make it as easy as possible to raise money and celebrate your efforts. \nWhat about fundraising?\nWe know that committing to a fundraising target can feel a little overwhelming\, especially if you haven’t done it before. Please don’t let that put you off – most people are genuinely surprised by how much support they receive once they start sharing their story and why this cause matters to them. \nThe Different Travel Company offer multiple ways to fundraise for your challenge trek\, so you can choose the option that works best for you. \nFundraising option: Pay a registration fee and commit to raising a minimum sponsorship amount. Half of that target covers your trip costs – flights\, accommodation\, guides and logistics – and the other half goes directly to Cornwall Hospice. Any funds you raise above the target come to us in full. \nFull-payment option: Pay your own trip costs in full\, with no minimum fundraising target. Anything you raise will come directly to Cornwall Hospice. \nPricing Breakdown\nFull Payment – £345 registration fee + £1650 [10 weeks before departure]. Fundraise as much as you’d like for Cornwall Hospice. \nFundraising Option – £345 registration fee + £3\,300 of fundraising paid to Cornwall Hospice [12 weeks before departure]. \nYou can find out more about The Different Travel Company’s Pricing options here. \n\nHow we’ll support you\nFrom your first enquiry right through to your return home\, Cornwall Hospice and The Different Travel Company will make sure you feel informed\, prepared and supported. \nBefore you go \nYou’ll receive full trip information and kit guidance\, and our team can help with: \n\nA welcome pack and personalised fundraising advice to get you started\nReady-to-use templates for emails and social posts\nRegular tips\, ideas and encouragement along the way\nHelp setting up your fundraising page\n\nDuring the trek \nThe Different Travel Company’s experienced trek leaders will be with your group throughout the challenge\, managing safety\, logistics and the day-to-day experience so you can focus on the walk — and the view. \nWhen you’re back \nWe’d love to hear all about it. Many participants find that sharing their experience – at work\, on social media or at a local event – gives their fundraising a brilliant final boost. And of course\, we’ll be on hand to help you close your fundraising page and celebrate what you’ve achieved. \nQuestions?
