What is the The Next Challenge (TNC)?
That was the question people kept asking TNC Founder, Tim Moss: What was
the next big project, the next mad scheme? Now we’re posing the question to
you: What's your next challenge? And, whatever your answer, we'd like to help
you with it.
We specialise in unique, personal challenges and the best way to get an idea of
what that might mean is to look at our portfolio below.
Who do we help?
People who are planning a big trip, challenge or expedition and want some help
with the details such as fundraising, sponsorship, logistics and media coverage.
People who have an idea but don't know where or how to start
People who have an urge to do something big with their lives but aren't quite
sure what
What's involved?
Because we like working on unique projects, each one tends to be different.
We'll listen to your ideas, talk about your options and advise where possible.
There's no set formula so just give us a go and find out for yourself.
We're not experts in everything but we have experience in a lot of areas (and
contacts for those we don't!).
What can we do for you?
We are small, we are independent, we are flexible and we are waiting to help
you undertake and overcome your next challenge.
Here some things we will lend you a hand with:
� Sponsorship
� Coming up with an idea
� Media coverage and press releases
� Charity fundraising
� Motivation
� Logistics and practicalities
� Doing something really, really amazing that you’ve always dreamed
of but haven’t quite got around to …

Current Challenges
Swedish 2000ers

above the Arctic Circle and, as a group, unclimbed
in a single winter expedition. Until this year, that
is – a British team will attempt them in March
2009.
Arch-to-Arc Triathlon
This September, Rob Cousins will attempt to complete
a triathlon from London to Paris. He will run 80 miles
from the Marble Arch to Dover. He'll then swim across
the Channel and cycle 200 miles to the Arc de
Triomphe.
When he finishes, he will be only the 9th person ever
to have done so.
The K2 Kid
Francis Charlesworth is a small guy with big
aspirations. He is 16 years old and hopes to one
day climb K2.
He has a long way to go but with such a huge
