TRAILBLAZERS HITS £1,000,000!!!!!

We are delighted to announce that over £1,000,000 has now been released into life changing causes in the UK and overseas through Trailblazers Sponsored Challenges!!!

For Trailblazers, this is a wonderful achievement and one that we have been working towards for the past few years as we seek to bring relief and a future to those most in need.

On behalf of our Partner Charities and ourselves we would like to thank all the brave and adventure seeking participants who have sacrificially given up time and their own money to make this possible. Whilst we can help, it is the challengers themselves that have physically raised the funds. In doing so, they have made what seemed impossible, possible! Without their efforts so many would not have:

  • received Bibles in their own language
  • been able to provide food for their own family on an ongoing basis 
  • a school building
  • access to life saving medicine 
  • heating for sub zero temperatures 
  • a sleeping bag just to make it through the night 
  • been reunited with their families 
  • access to HIV/Aids awareness projects 
  • been able to die in comfortable surrounding and with dignity 
  • homes to live in 
  • food to eat, water to drink & a mattress to sleep on 
  • had access to leadership training in the ministry 
  • someone to tell them that although they might be abandoned by everyone else, there is a God that loves them.

And the list goes on…….

Aside the funds that they have raised, our participants have acted as honourable ambassadors of their beneficiary charities, informing so many others about their work and the need that on our doorstep or further afield that they are addressing. 

We are truly blessed to be involved in this work and continue to be blown away by the work of our partners and the commitment of our challenge participants. As we now aim to release our second and third million pounds, we hope that you also will want to get involved as Trailblazers continues to see lives changed!
