If you can’t find an answer to your question here, please e-mail events@tchc.org.uk or call us on 0114 399 7990.
How do I register?
Just click on the register button at the top of the page and away you go!
How much does it cost to register?
Registration is £39! All we then ask is that you raise a minimum of £229 for your Snowdon challenge. We'll send you a fundraising pack filled with goodies to help you raise your target and we'll be with you every step of the way.
Can we register a team?
Unfortunately, not. This is because there is a registration fee of £39 per person and specific details are needed for each person. This means everyone must sign up individually. However, if you are a company (for example) and want to pay for a few people please email events@tchc.org.uk and we can organise payment and a code for individuals to sign up.
What do I need to wear & carry for the challenge?
Dolomite Training have put together a kit list which covers everything you'll need! You can access this via the events homepage or within your welcome email from the charity. Don't worry, we've got you covered!
When does registration close?
Registration closes on Thursday 17th October at 4:00pm or when we hit our participant limit (whichever comes first) so sign up quickly to avoid disappointment.
What happens once I’ve registered?
You will receive a welcome email from The Children’s Hospital Charity with lots of helpful advice as to how to start your fundraising. You will also receive a fundraising pack to help you on your way.
Can I get a Team Theo charity t-shirt to wear?
Absolutely! This will be sent to you with your fundraising pack.
How do I fundraise?
When registering for this event, you will be encouraged to set up your personal fundraising page. Once set-up you can let your family, friends, relatives, co-workers, classmates and neighbours know you are participating, share your fundraising page with them and ask them for a donation. Remember, it’s for a really good cause. You will be surprised how many will support your efforts.
There’s lots of helpful information, tips & resources we can send you so, if you need anything specific please let us know by contacting events@tchc.org.uk
What is the fundraising target?
We are asking each person taking part to raise a minimum of £229.
When is the minimum sponsorship due?
We ask that the mimumum sponsorship of £229 is raised before the challenge. Please do contact the charity team to discuss if there are any problems.
Where will my fundraising go?
Sheffield Children’s Hospital is a specialist children’s hospital, providing world-class care for children all over Yorkshire and across the UK. The Children’s Hospital Charity makes Sheffield Children’s Hospital even better, by creating an environment built with children in mind. Your donations will help us support Sheffield Children's where it is needed most.
How do I pay in any offline fundraising?
Ask people to donate directly to your online fundraising page. That way the money will automatically come direct to us and you don’t have to chase anyone to collect their money (please note online fundraising pages will take an admin fee off your overall sponsorship raised).
If you’ve collected cash then you can pay the money in by sending a cheque made payable to ‘The Children’s Hospital Charity’ at The Children’s Hospital Charity, Marlborough House, 4 Marlborough Road, S10 1DB.
You can also send your money in via bank transfer, please email us at events@tchc.org.uk for bank details.
If you’re collecting offline donations please ask your supporters to fill out a Sponsorship Form and tick the Gift Aid Box, if applicable.
