How much is the registration fee?
We want as many people as possible to take part in Benathlon so there is no registration fee to take part.
How much do I need to fundraise, and will I get any support?
The fundraising target is £100 per person, promoting your daily activities on social media to show that you are taking part in this challenge and asking people to donate small amounts will quickly add to your target. Alternatively, you could look at selling unwanted items on eBay or Facebook Marketplace!
There is a downloadable fundraising toolkit to help and you can email the events team if you need further support on eventsteam@ben.org.uk
What happens if I do not raise enough?
There is no penalty for not reaching the fundraising target, but we encourage all participants to try as hard as they can to reach the £100 goal - it could fund a mental health assessment for a colleague in need. If you need additional help or ideas in reaching the target, then please get in touch with one of the team - eventsteam@ben.org.uk. We also recommend speaking to your employer to see if they will match your fundraising.
Can I take cash donations?
You can take cash donations, once you have collected them you can send us the money via bank transfer, and you can add this to your total as an offline donation.
