Formula 1 at Silverstone Circuit

Registration fee: £25

Event information

Beginning in June, volunteers will have six weeks to raise as much as they can through whatever means they wish. The challenge will culminate at the British Grand Prix competition day on Sunday 9 July 2023, where individuals will have the day (7.30am–5pm) to bucket collect around the circuit in a bid to top up their final totals (as well as watch all of the racing action and enjoy our hospitality trailer). The individual that comes top of the podium with the highest overall total will be crowned F1™ Champion and will be awarded a prize.

Volunteer at F1 Weekend

Volunteer for F1 British Grand Prix 2023

Last year we welcomed 80 volunteers to Silverstone who collectively raised up to £40,000 over the weekend.

"Taking part in the F1 Challenge was loads of fun. As a big fan of Formula 1, it was always going to be a great day out but the added experience of raising money for GOSH Charity was brilliant. I had the opportunity to watch all the races and soak up the atmosphere. It was a great challenge for a very worthwhile cause and overall a really enjoyable experience that I would definitely recommend!" - Louise, F1 Challenge Volunteer

"What an incredible day from start to finish. The events team looked after everything from parking at the track, to sun cream (when the sun appeared) and the most delicious lunch! So much fun!" - Freya, F1 Challenge Volunteer

Where your money goes

All the funds raised will go towards the development of cancer care at Great Ormond Street Hospital. In the event that costs change, or the needs of the hospital or patients change, we reserve the right to redirect funds for use against the hospital’s most urgent needs.
