Whether you’ve always dreamed of climbing a mountain, kayaking along a dramatic coastline or simply spending a weekend under the stars with your family, a new fund could help turn those ambitions into reality.

Car brand Dacia has announced the launch of its new Bucket List Fund which will give lucky applicants across the UK the chance to receive funding, equipment AND vehicle support to complete their ultimate outdoor adventure. Yes, really.

The initiative, which opens for applicants on June 17th 2026, is designed to “encourage people to embrace the outdoors and finally tackle the experiences they’ve always wanted to try.”

Successful applicants can receive up to £5,000 toward their chosen adventure, along with multimedia equipment to document the journey and access to a Dacia vehicle to help them get there. Dacia says no idea is off limits. From scaling the iconic Matterhorn in the Alps to organising an unforgettable family camping experience in the garden, the brand is encouraging Brits to think big – or, indeed, small.

“Not only are we super excited to launch Dacia’s Bucket List Fund, but we’re incredibly passionate about proving Dacia’s ability to facilitate accessible adventures of any size, shape, or level,” says Lina Ribeiro, Dacia UK Brand Director. “We’re giving people a chance to dream up and realise an adventure on their own terms, because adventure is for all.”

The fund is open to adventures taking place across the UK and Europe and aims to support experiences that might otherwise remain on the bucket list but never realised. Dacia expects its rugged Duster SUVs to play a key role in helping winners achieve their goals, providing the vehicles as support cars throughout the adventure.

Applications close on June 30 which is not far away at all.

Lucky winners will be notified within seven days of the closing date.

Interested? You probably are, right?

To enter you just need to submit your adventure pitches via Dacia’s website: dacia.co.uk/bucketlist from June 17th.
