Every day in the UK, five young people take their own lives - and our challenge turns that difficult truth into a powerful opportunity for hope and action. Each of the five Lancashire peaks represents a young life, and by climbing them, we’re helping create brighter futures.

The funding will be used to enhance our young people's suicide prevention programme in Lancaster and Morecambe, aimed at 14-25-year-olds. This programme teaches young people the tools to cope with the stresses of life and helps build resilience using the outdoors as a tool to improve mental health.

Every participant taking part in the Lancashire Five Peaks Challenge will climb five of Lancashire’s highest hills in a single day. Covering roughly 30+ Kilometers and over 2927 meters of ascent through Lancashire's unforgiving terrain, it’s a demanding physical and mental challenge that will test determination, teamwork, and resilience. By pushing themselves through tough terrain and long hours on the hills, our walkers are standing in solidarity with young people facing their own challenges, and raising vital funds to support life-saving work.
