The Brief: Create a Flagship Event for a New Audience
Devon Air Ambulance came to Gladiator Events in 2024 with a desire to organise a successful fundraising challenge event. The goal was to diversify their portfolio outside of their busy community events to create a flagship event for the charity. They were keen on a trekking challenge that explored a new supporter base away from their core Exeter demographic.
The Event: A beautiful 14 & 26 Mile Trek along the South West Coast Path
We designed two beautiful circular routes in DAAT’s chosen location of Plymouth, heading inland via Wembury, Brixton and on to Yealmpton, which all have DAAT landing sites. The route then rejoins the beautiful coastal path from Noss Mayo to Jennycliff for some amazing views all the way back to the finish line - including a water taxi ride which is a first for GE!
The Result: Watch this Space..
We are looking forward to delivering this event in the Summer of 2025 and are excited to welcome new and existing supporters to the challenge.
“Working with Gladiator Events has been a real pleasure. Hosting our first ever large event like this was initially a daunting prospect, but the knowledge and professionalism of Elodie and Abi immediately put us at ease. They have the answers (and patience!) for all of our many questions and have supported us along the way. They take the lead where appropriate, and prompt us into thinking and considering things at the right point on our timelines too. We really look forward to our first event, but have enjoyed the planning process so far.”
