How are the expeditions funded?
Reachers are required to make a contribution of £300, paid either in a lump sum or three, equal instalments.
The remainder of the cost of the expedition is funded by Operation Reach. It is important that Reachers financially contribute to their experience. This ensures Reachers are fully invested, and develop vital skills whilst fundraising. Operation Reach provides support to Reachers as to how to fundraise.
