We can tailor a challenge to suit your organisation or company. The benefits of a bespoke corporate challenge are:

  • an attractive offering for potential recruits

  • an excellent team-building opportunity 

  • an opportunity to generate positive PR

  • an association with an internationally recognised charity

  • an opportunity to raise significant amount of money for charity.

Success stories

Accenture, one of our business partners, was the first company to have a specially made challenge. Since 2006 over 500 Accenture employees from 14 different countries will have trekked to iconic destinations and raised over £1.5 million for VSO.

In 2009 we had our first bespoke 3 Peaks Challenge for HSBC and our first HSBC Multi-Actvity challenge in 2010. These events have involved over 400 HSBC employees in an exciting bid to reach the peaks of England, Scotland and Wales in less than 24 hours, which in turn have raised over half a million pounds for VSO.

VSO’s bespoke corporate challenges are an ideal way to strengthen and motivate employees. Escape from the office to take on the elements and experience the great outdoors and the money you raise will help change the lives of some of the poorest people in the world.
