HOW TO REGISTER?

There are two options of funding the challenge:

Self-funded​

​

Where you pay the full amount of £3,485 for the trip yourself and fundraise on top of that. The fundraising target will be set by you!

 

We recommend raising at least £1,500, these funds can help us cover the cost of the therapy service for 25 hospitality professionals, that we provide for free.

Part-funded

​

Where you fundraise to cover the full cost of your trip (or a portion of the total amount).  50% of all the money raised will go to the Burnt Chef Project, and 50% will go towards funding your trip.

However, please be aware that the fundraising total must be double the total price of the trip for you to pay nothing out of pocket, otherwise, you will be responsible for covering any remaining balance.
