Thank you our 2026 Arctic Challengers!
We would like to say a huge thank you to our 2026 Arctic Challengers who have raised an incredible £81,776 for the National Literacy Trust. We really appreciate their hard work and dedication to fundraising for the challenge, as the money they raise will help us transform the life stories of children in some of the most deprived communities across the UK, by giving them the literacy skills they need to succeed in life.
We will be releasing details on our 2027 Arctic Challenge soon, but in the meantime, please do register your interest to get onto the event waiting list.
Previous challengers
In 2025, we were lucky enough to have Gaby Huddart, National Literacy Trust Trustee, journalist and presenter, join us for the Arctic Challenge alongside two friends. You can read more about the fantastic time they had in Gaby's article for Best Magazine.
