Our team are making their return to the Cumbrian Challenge 2026, raising funds for Walking with the Wounded.

The charity delivers early intervention programmes and improves access to therapy, supporting veterans and their families who are facing challenges such as poor mental health, unemployment and homelessness.

In total 17 members of staff, spread across four teams, will take on the challenge and help raise much needed funds for the charity. This will involve a difficult hike around the Lake District alongside other teams of veterans and supporters. Our teams will either take on “The Tough” a 22km course with a 1,140m ascent or the “Tougher” a 27km course with a 1,570m ascent.

Three teams taking on the ‘The Tough’ are:

Ben Smith

Jonathan Sheridan

Johan John

–

Anne Gabaldon

Anishka Dsouza

Cristina Georgescu

Charlotte Dixon

Oliva Knight

–

Maddie Woodhead

Alex Southall

Louis Muller-Dahl

Rob Foster

And one crazy brave team will attempt ‘The Tougher’, comprising:

Chris Lenehan

Dan Sutton

Kate Silvester

Joe Shepherd

Rob Dickson

So please reward our team’s effort and sore feet and dig deep and donate now. Good luck all!
