Fun, engaging charity events

We work with local charities in Cambridgeshire to provide a venue for engaging, challenging and fun charity events in Cambridge.

For just £250, you can rent the climbing arena for two hours, and invite teams of people who are climbing to raise money for your charity.

As a charity, you are responsible for finding your teams, and deciding whether there is an entrance charge, or whether each team needs to commit to raising a certain amount of money.

We will provide the venue, and manage the climbing and challenges on the night, alongside your representative. We give everyone a full safety briefing before they climb.

Refreshments are available from our cafe at an extra cost.

Challenges for charity

We have three charity challenges:

Ben Nevis
Three Peaks
Everest

Ben Nevis

The Ben Nevis challenges works really well for six teams of six people. Within an hour, each team needs to climb 224 walls (38 walls per person) which is the equivalent of the height of Ben Nevis (1,344m).

Three Peaks

This challenge is harder, with the team needing to climb 568 walls (3,045m), the same as the UK's highest peaks, Ben Nevis, Snowdon, Scafell Pike. This challenge is best done with either two teams going quickly, or one team taking a bit more easy!

Everest

Mount Everest is 8,848m (1,475 walls). This challenge is best for just one team of 26 climbers, who each need to climb 39 walls each.

Invite companies to join the fun

There is something for everyone at Clip 'n Climb Cambridge, whether the company have 36 keen climbers, or whether they have just 6. As a charity, you could invite companies that you have an existing link with, or use this as an opportunity to work with new companies.

You may want to have a range of companies participating, or you may wish to invite companies from similar industries to compete against each other for the quickest time.

Raising money

These events are for people with climbing experience, as well as complete novices. Companies that have participated in them have not found it hard to raise money for these challenges, with an average of £3,000 being raised from six teams from six companies.

Please note that all monies raised are for your charity to collect.
