The Attenda Extreme initiative was introduced at the start of 2012. The initiative manifests itself in two parallel and supporting themes, Extreme Charity and Extreme Endeavour. Both themes will embrace Extreme challenges that live up to the definition of Extreme – Reaching a high or the highest degree in very great undertakings. Attenda Extreme aims to realise the collective efforts of many resources, encourage and foster long lasting relationships with the selected cause(s), create memories of achieving Extreme challenges and provide people with a chance to make a real, substantial, positive difference. Since its inception, a total of £108,000 has been raised.
In 2016, Attenda are taking part in 2 challenges, a 24 hours three peaks challenge and a London to Paris cycle. Over these two events Attenda are looking to raise £20,000. As well as the individuals contacting friends and family for sponsorship we also look to corporate partners and contacts and run raffles and auctions for individual prizes.
Every employee pays in full for the trip they are participating in, we do not believe in sponsorship subsidising these trips.
Attenda currently support both TyHafan (Registered Charity No: 1047912) and Shooting Star Chase (Registered Charity No: 1042495)
The Charities are very similar in what they do by offering end of life care and support to children and their families from when they are babies through to the age of 21. They offer day care, hospice at home as well as full hospice care.
