With a group of 25 trekkers to Everest base camp, your charity could raise £63,000! What is a charity trek? It is a sponsored event whereby each supporter of your charity (commonly known as a “Challenger”) has to raise a certain amount of money to take on a specific challenge such as trekking to Everest base camp. Why organise a Charity trek? They are a proven method of raising significant funds for charity. Why The Mountain Company? We are specialists in organising high quality, environmentally and ethically sound trekking expeditions at great value.
The Charity trek program is a partnership between The Mountain Company and your charity - we go beyond just organising the trek, for example we can provide - templates and photos to reduce your time working on the Charity trek project eg. marketing material and information packs on registration.
- advice and recommendations on ways of promoting and marketing the Charity trek.
- phone and email support to enquiries - once an enquiry has been taken, the Charity can pass anyone with trek related questions directly to us either by phone or email - we pride ourselves on giving friendly, helpful and knowledgeable advice.
- participate in an information evening for registered Challengers three months before departure – format normally involves Roland giving an inspirational slideshow on climbing to the summit of Everest followed by a presentation on the Everest base camp trek and questions. It is also a good opportunity for Challengers to meet each other (expenses would be payable if location is outside London area).
We take pride in meticulously planning and organising all our treks and expeditions. The Mountain Company will organise an all inclusive package from the meet and greet at Kathmandu airport to hotels, sightseeing and every detail of the trek. - While on trek we provide a Sherpa leader, cooks, porters and all group equipment - we use good local lodges/tea houses, although for larger groups we will camp next to the lodges.
- Safety is our top priority; we design the itineraries to ensure adequate time for acclimatisation and bring safety equipment (portable oxygen pressure chamber, oxygen saturation meter and comprehensive first aid kit).
- The Mountain Company can tailor the trek details to your precise requirements and preferences.
