Unique Kidz and Co has launched its first ever overseas fundraising challenge to Iceland.
The Lancashire charity, which provides childcare and support for children and adults with disabilities, is hosting the Iceland Fire and Ice Challenge from July 1-5, 2026.
The challenge covers 58km over a three-day trek through one of the planet’s most volcanic regions.
Home to one of Europe’s most incredible landscapes, the trek takes in waterfalls, lava fields, fjords, and geysers providing some of the most awe-inspiring views as you navigate and camp the Icelandic wilderness.
To launch the challenge, Unique Kidz and Co is offering a 40% reduction in the registration fee for anyone who signs up to the challenge in January 2025. A maximum of 30 places are available on the trek, and fundraising and training support will be available throughout the next 18 months.
Jane Halpin, co-founder and trustee of Unique Kidz and Co said: “We’re so excited to be launching our first ever overseas fundraising challenge for Unique Kidz and Co. We hope that the Iceland trek will be an unforgettable trip and personal challenge for those that join us, but most importantly it’s a chance for them to make a difference to Unique Kidz, through raising awareness and funds for our charity to support the amazing young people with disabilities and their families.”
Unique Kidz and Co chose Iceland as they wanted their first overseas adventure to be unique from other treks – to somewhere cold rather than hot!
Denise Armer, co-founder and trustee of Unique Kidz and Co, said: “If you’re looking for a new adventure or to challenge yourself for the year ahead, please get in touch to find out more about our Iceland Fire and Ice Trek! You’ll not only have an experience of a lifetime, but you’ll be helping us continue deliver our much-needed services, which are a lifeline for many local young people with disabilities and their families.”
If you want to find out more about the adventure, Unique Kidz will be hosting a webinar on Friday, February 12, at 1pm.
