Our highly anticipated Race Across the World challenge is BACK for 2026 and we’d love your support.

This year, we’re celebrating the incredible commitment of the Project Trust community, with 147 racers coming together across 3 teams – made up of fundraising Volunteers, international Volunteers and our amazing Alumni.

As you’ll know from experience, fundraising isn’t easy, and for many Volunteers now, it’s tougher than ever. In fact, 1 in 5 now rely on bursary support to make their placement possible.

That’s why this challenge matters. This year, our Volunteers are taking it on again – but they can’t do it alone.

The Race: 18 May – 29 June

3 teams: Team Asia, Team Africa, Team Latin America

3 routes: 3,035 miles each, virtually travelling through Project Trust countries across your continent

One final leg: the big race back to the Isle of Coll!

Since the race began, our teams have collectively travelled over 9,000 miles. But there can only be one winner…

Join your team and help push them across the finish line. Learn how to become a Final Sprint Supporter below.

We are excited to share that our Race Across the World challenge is in full swing. 

Over 60 of our currently fundraising Volunteers are racing in teams to cover 3,677 virtual miles – the distance from London Heathrow to Ethiopia, where Project Trust’s very first project began back in 1967. 

These incredible young people are running, walking, cycling, swimming, and more to raise the funds they need to make their international placements a reality.

Plus, they’re not going it alone. Over 50 Project Trust Alumni have offered a helping hand, joining in to bag the miles, share encouragement, and show what it means to stand behind the next generation of Volunteers.

This is the first time Project Trust has launched a campaign specifically to support Volunteers’ fundraising efforts – a reflection of just how tough it has become for young people to raise what they need.

From 23rd to 29th June, every donation will be doubled through our Match Fund Campaign. By becoming a Final Sprint Supporter, you’re pledging your support for the final week of our campaign, when every donation will be matched. 

Your gift will directly help Volunteers overcome financial barriers and reach their placements this September.

Make your pledge today and double your impact.
