Overseas challenges

Feed your sense of adventure...

... And help us raise vital funds. Imagine hiking to Everest Base Camp or summiting Kilimanjaro, cycling in Vietnam or along The Great Wall of China. Just a dream? Contact us at Diabetes UK and we can help make it come true.

Each trip will take you to a fantastic location along with a small group of like-minded people. The challenge will provide you with great motivation to get fit and is a wonderful way to raise funds for Diabetes UK.

If you agree to raise a set amount then you only pay for your deposit. Alternatively you can pay for your own costs and then you are free to raise whatever you can.

Both the physical challenge and the challenge of raising the funds can be tough but we are here to support you and the sense of achievement is incredible!

Below you will find information about our overseas challenges. If these dates are not convenient or you had something else in mind then do get in touch so that we can talk you through other options.
