The Accumulator Challenge 2027.

What could your team achieve with £30? How much could you raise?

We’re inviting your team of up to six people to take part in The Accumulator Challenge in 2027!

To kick things off, your team will receive a loan of £30. From there, it’s up to you to auction, fundraise, invest, organise, and run your way to generating the biggest profit possible, all in just 30 days.

Think creatively, think innovatively, and most importantly, think fun! You can do whatever you like to raise funds, as long as it’s safe and legal.

Join the challenge between 8am on Saturday 6 February 2027 and 11:59pm on Sunday 7 March 2027.

If these dates are not suitable, you may select your own 30 consecutive days between 31 January 2027 and 14 March 2027. This flexibility allows you to take advantage of key local events, such as York Residents’ Festival (late January) and Mother’s Day.
