Where does Go Help fit in?
We are the people that help the people that want to organise charity rallies. We want you to get your ideas off the ground quickly without getting bogged down in administration and paperwork. Our new website infrastructure will help you to handle users, email lists, payments of entry fees, contacting your teams, and tracking them during the event. We can give you advice and help to put the whole thing together and you'll have the advantage of a UK charity that understands where you're coming from and backing you all the way. By pooling together all of the people that want to do Charity events, we can get more events off the ground and raise more money for great charities.
We also try to work with the charities we are helping to develop ways for ralliers to 'Go Help' in the countries along the route. But this is not just a charity holiday. You're getting into some serious adventures and with the option to go and work with established charities in the far off countries, often in the middle of nowhere, you'll get a real experience at the grass roots.
What about the other charities?
We are keen to support all sorts of charities right across the world. We've always admired the way that Mission Fish (run by a UK charity) helps ebay sellers to raise lots of money for charity.
Other charities might be organising their own event (like Gemin-I organising the Sucata Run) or they might simply receive money raised by teams taking part in the rallies. If you are a charity that would like to get involved, contact us now.

Who is behind all this?
Charity Rallies is all about the volunteers who come up with the ideas for events, put in their time and raise money for some great causes. This is a diverse group of people, and you could be one of them. Join up on the site and you're well on your way.
Go Help is the charity that oversees Charity Rallies and is controlled by a board of Trustees. The board can not legally be paid for their time and make sure that all of the events remain non-profit making. They are a strange bunch of people, mostly in it for the smell of fresh mountain tarmac at dawn and because their day jobs really aren't anywhere near as exciting as helping to organise charity rallies.
