FAQs

The King's Trust CEO Challenge is a unique event in our 50th anniversary calendar. We are asking CEOs and business leaders to become a team and take on a challenge - with a shared vision of ending youth unemployment.

The challenge details are in development, but we know that we'll be stepping away from the boardroom and into the wild, in the Scottish Highlands, and focusing as a team on the resilience and courage young people show today. 

Our team of leaders will be raising significant funds as they take on the challenge, that will enable The King's Trust continue their vision in ending youth unemployment. 

There is a fee to take part in the CEO Challenge. We estimate that the fee will be roughly £2,950 per person, which will cover all costs once you've arrived on site for the challenge. This does not have to be paid as part of the registration process. The final fee amount will be confirmed in the coming months, and will be communicated with those who have registered.

The fee ensures that costs are covered, and that funds raised by participants can be spent on providing support and opportunities to young people across the UK.

When you register for the CEO Challenge, a fundraising page will be automatically set up for you. It will be linked to the event so your fundraising activity will pull through to the overall fundraising total.

You will be sent an email with a link to your fundraising page so you can share it far and wide, and keep track of your progress.  

We are aiming for a collective total of £500,000 from this event. We're encouraging all participants to go big and aim for £20,000+.

​Raising £20,000 could run a 'Get Hired' event, connecting 20 young people with employers and jobs.

When registering for the event, a fundraising page will automatically be set up for you. We recommend you use this platform as your page will link through to the  overall fundraising total.  

We know that you may have to use another platform due to your workplace policy or to gain match-funding. If that’s the case, just let us know by emailing laura.heaton@kingstrust.org.uk.

Your online fundraising page is the quickest and easiest way to fundraise. Any donations will be automatically transferred to The King's Trust so you don't have to do anything. You can also add Gift Aid to help boost your fundraising.

You can fundraise offline if you prefer, but please do let us know by emailing laura.heaton@kingstrust.org.uk so we can ensure that we recognise your fundraising efforts.

Donations in the 'My Donations' section of your dashboard are just those from your supporters. If you have made a self-donation, it will only show on your fundraising page but will still count towards your total. 

There is a short delay in donations pulling through to the page. If donations aren’t showing within 24 hours, please let us know.

Yes, we will be bringing out team of business leaders together, once the full team is recruited. You'll also hear directly from the team organising this event post registration, and will be in touch regularly with them throughout fundraising and the lead up to the event.
