Each year #TeamBoobs sets out on a challenging, extraordinary and life-changing trek, 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 approximately 100km, chat boobs AND raise hundreds of thousands of pounds towards our life-saving mission.
“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.”
Thank you to everyone who applied – there were hundreds of you! We hope to be in a position to offer all trek places by the end of January 2024.

After experiencing the magic of the Himalayas back in 2019, we are so excited to be returning, 5 years later. From the madness of Delhi, to the beauty and tranquility of the mountains, this unique expedition will challenge you both mentally and physically. The challenge begins and ends at the heart of the Dhauladar mountain range, with breathtaking views of the snow-capped peaks, magnificent woodland trails and beautiful pine forests.

We know that in order to ensure our CoppaTrek! events are reflective of our community, and every person we exist to serve, we need to be actively working to encourage applications from more people of all ethnicities, genders and backgrounds.
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 boob 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.
Unfortunately, our CoppaTrek!’s are not wheelchair accessible and may be inaccessible for some disabled people.
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 trek will involve sharing a tent with at least one other (awesome) person. The good news is – these tents will be provided and put up for you… Dreamy!
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.
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.
Applications will close at midnight on Sunday 10th December 2023.
We will endeavour to get through applications as quickly as we can, but we have had applications in the thousands previously, so it may take some time (we are a very small, but mighty team!). We hope to be in a position to make offers by the end of January 2024.
We will let both successful and unsuccessful applicants know – so please check your Junk Mail folders, as sometimes our emails 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.
