The Arctic One Foundation

Homepage

Arctic One was launched in November 2011 to coincide with Matt Kirby running the Antarctic Half Marathon and ‘The Arctic One Foundation – Get Involved’ became a Charity in its own right (Registered Charity 1149536) in October 2012.

Arctic One aims to give opportunities to both able bodied and disabled people to enable them to “Get Involved” in Sport. In addition to this we are exploring the benefits of sport in cancer- related diseases. 

We felt that by forming a Charity, we would be able to do more to support these areas and control how the funds raised are spent. In the last twelve months we have developed the Charity extensively including holding the First Junior Para Triathlon in the UK as well as raising over £10,000 to provide opportunities for disabled people to get into sport. This includes helping 5 amputees to fund protehtic limbs to enable them to continue enjoying sport!
