We’re taking on the Yorkshire Three Peaks for Pocklington Rugby In The Community! 🏔💙

On Friday 8th August, the Hands That Heal team is challenging ourselves to complete the Yorkshire Three Peaks — a gruelling 24-mile hike over Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside, and Ingleborough in under 12 hours! 💪⛰️

We’re doing it to raise funds and awareness for a charity that’s changing lives right here in our community — Pocklington Rugby In The Community (PRITC). Their work goes far beyond the pitch. From tackling loneliness to empowering people of all ages and abilities, they’re building a stronger, more connected community through sport and support. 🏉💛

Here’s just a glimpse of what they do:

🥧 Pie & Pud: Activities that bring over 30 men together each month to combat male loneliness — generating £4.11 in social value for every £1 invested.

🎶 Friday Socials: 70+ older adults enjoy quizzes, music, and trips to places like Burnby Hall and Pocklington Arts Centre.

🎾 Inclusive Sports: Weekly sessions for adults with SEND, helping 15 individuals get active in a friendly, welcoming environment.

📚 Training & Support: Free training for local groups in areas like first aid, governance, and fundraising.

🎪 Free Equipment Hire: A community kit bank with everything from gazebos to projectors available at no cost.

🎉 Pockdown Festival: A SEND-friendly programme welcomed over 200 people with activities, resources, and a quiet space in partnership with Accessible Arts.

Every donation makes a genuine difference. Your support will help them continue to deliver these incredible initiatives and keep our community thriving, active, and connected.

We’re proud to walk every mile for them — and we’d be so grateful if you could support us. 👣✨

Thank you,
