Each year a team of legends sets out on a challenging, extraordinary and life-changing treks, all in the name of checking chests! Together with Giovanna Fletcher and a few other famous faces, our fa-boob-ulous community of trekkers cover hundreds of kilometers, chat chests AND raise hundreds of thousands of pounds towards our life-saving mission.
We’re looking 120 adventurous chest-checking legends to join Gi Fletcher and her celebrity captains for an unforgettable 5-day trek in two amazing locations in 2025. Don’t miss this foot-blistering, soul-searching experience. We promise you won’t regret it!
The treks have been designed exclusively for CoppaFeel! and will test trekkers both physically and mentally. They are however suitable for beginners who are willing to put in the training and preparation. With this in mind, we strongly encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, ages and abilities, and will be on hand to offer you guidance and support to make sure you feel prepared ahead of the challenge.
Applications close on Sunday 1st December!
We want our CoppaTrek! events to be reflective of our community and every person we exist to serve, so we encourage everyone—regardless of race, gender, or background—to apply. If you have any questions about our treks or the steps we’re taking to make them inclusive, please get in touch!
CoppaTrek! with Gi is open to everyone over the age of 18. We welcome applications from people of all ages, genders, religions, ethnicities and backgrounds.
Not at all – just a passion for the work we do at CoppaFeel! and the desire to help educate the nation on the importance of chest checking.
Our CoppaTrek! challenges are designed to be tough, but achievable. They will require a good level of fitness that can be achieved through training. But don’t worry – if you’re successful, we will provide you with support for training in the build up.
We try to ensure our treks are as inclusive as possible, and will do our best to accommodate those with health conditions or disabilities.
Many of our previous trekkers have had cancer or are going through active treatment. If this is the case for you, we do ask that you do seek medical advice from a doctor before embarking on the trek.
If you have any questions around accessibility or the suitability of the treks for your condition, then please email us on events@coppafeel.org.
All of our trek campsites differ depending on their location. However, all of our treks will involve sharing a tent with at least one other person (fellow legend). The good news is – these tents will be provided and erected for you!
There will be toilets and washing facilities onsite, and unlimited drinking water available.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are provided – and all dietary requirements can be catered for.
Most definitely! We are a very inclusive bunch and want everyone to feel at home on a CoppaTrek!. If you have any requests or adjustments that need to be made, then please let us know and we make sure we factor these into the trek.
The fundraising targets for the treks are £2,500 (Isle of Skye) and £3,000 (Sahara Desert). These targets do not include GiftAid or the registration fee.
We know that fundraising large amounts can be daunting! But our friendly team will be on hand to offer you support in the build up to the trek.
We have broken the fundraising into two deadlines: The first deadline is usually 10 weeks before we trek, around the time that we need to pay our suppliers. If your circumstances change and you are no longer able to hit that first fundraising target, we will cancel your place on the trek.
The second deadline is 4 weeks after the trek, and will be for the full fundraising target amount.
Please see our CoppaTrek! Terms and Conditions to see exact dates and fundraising amounts required for each trek.
If you are no longer able to attend the trek, please let our team know as soon as possible on events@coppafeel.org.
Due to the nature of events, we need to pay suppliers in advance, which means that we are not able to offer refunds on registration fees or sponsorship.
We recommend everyone purchases travel insurance as soon as they book onto the trek, which will cover you for any losses incurred, should you need to pull out.
Applications will close at midnight on Sunday 1st December 2024.
We will endeavor to get through applications as quickly as we can, but we have had thousands in the past, so it may take some time (we are a very small team!). But we hope to be in a position to make offers by the end of January 2025.
We will let both successful and unsuccessful applicants know – so please check your Junk Mail folders, as sometimes our emails are sneaky and end up in there.
Then please email us on events@coppafeel.org and we will do our best to get back to you as soon as we can.
“There’s a remarkable thing that happens when you put a bunch of strangers like this together in a new environment and set them a challenge. I simply love watching the bonds formed, seeing the trekkers encourage and support each other and the way fears are broken and a new confidence built. The fact they all do this in the name of CoppaFeel! is humbling. They walk so that one day another person will one day be trekking with CoppaFeel!, saying how doing these things has saved their life.”
